Just reposting a message from our President and Founder Taryn Jones Laeben in support of Chief!
As the largest network of executive women, we have some edits on *that* speech. In his recent commencement speech, Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker guessed that the majority of the women graduates were “most excited about marriage and children.” Our take?

IRL Ventures continues to be amazed by Kaitlin Christine and the Gabbi team, who have been recognized by the White House for their dedication to expanding access to breast cancer screening and promoting early detection!
When the White House reached out to me to be part of an effort to end cancer, my first reaction was, "Am I being punk'd?" We have all been touched by cancer, myself included. Today, the President of the United States of America doubled down on his commitment to ending cancer by highlighting the need for the private and public sectors to galvanize its efforts. What does this mean for all of us? Well, Gabbi has been recognized by the White House for our commitment to expanding access to breast cancer screenings, early detection, and prevention. Now every woman can learn her risk of breast cancer so she can take action. We are democratizing access to breast specialists, so that no one has to wait weeks or months to get the care they need--mammograms, MRIs, ultrasounds, genetic testing--but can learn their risk and get the right care at the right time to lead to early detection. #BidenCancerMoonshot https://lnkd.in/g2vdyPYK
