✨ Fabulous Fridays at Purple Sheep Consulting ✨ As we reflect on this week, we remember key moments that have shaped our journey toward equality and justice. This week marks the anniversaries of pivotal events in the fight for civil rights, including the historic March on Washington (August 28, 1963) and the signing of the Voting Rights Act (August 6, 1965). These milestones remind us of the courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to change demonstrated by those who came before us. Today, we honor the legacy of those who fought for our rights and continue to champion the voices of Black women and minorities. Let’s carry their spirit forward in everything we do. "Our power lies not just in our history, but in how we honor it through our actions today." – Dr. RD Harris #FabulousFridays #PurpleSheepConsulting #BlackExcellence #CivilRights #WomensEmpowerment #DEI #EqualityForAll #LegacyOfChange #VoteWithPower #MarchOnWashington

Motivational Monday: Reflecting on Women's Equality Day Today, we commemorate Women's Equality Day, marking the historic adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the U.S. This milestone was a significant step forward, but the journey for true equality continues, especially for women of color who face unique challenges in their pursuit of equity. As we reflect on this day, it's crucial to recognize that while 100% of women gained the right to vote in 1920, it wasn't until decades later that many women of color were fully able to exercise this right. Even today, women earn just 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, and Black women face an even larger wage gap, earning only 63 cents to the dollar compared to white men. Dr. RD Harris reminds us: _"Women's Equality Day isn't just about celebrating the progress made; it's about acknowledging the work still left to do. As we champion equality, we must also recognize and address the disparities that continue to affect women of color. DEI isn't just three words for me; it's a way of life."_ Let's continue to push for a world where all women are empowered, supported, and celebrated—every day. #WomensEqualityDay #EmpowerWomen #EqualityForAll #WomenInLeadership #PurpleSheepConsulting #DEI #MotivationalMonday
