Women in America are forced to serve as the nation's social safety net. I was cruising to the lake listening to NPR Saturday night when I stumbled on, Dr. Jessica Calarco's "Holding It Together" and know it’s a must-read for anyone interested in gender equality and social justice. Her book exposes that women in America are forced to serve as the nation's social safety net, shouldering the immense burden of holding society together. Key Takeaways: Women's invisible labor is the backbone of our society This unpaid work has devastating consequences on women's lives Calarco's research calls for urgent policy reforms to alleviate women's overwhelming responsibilities A powerful voice advocating for gender equity and systemic change I can’t wait to get my hands on this important book and its insights into the hidden struggles of women in America. Id love to learn more from my connections, please share your thoughts and share any other books or podcasts you recommend on this topic.

🌟👑 Honouring International Women’s Day 2024 but let’s talk about #blackandglobalmajority women👑🌟 In the tapestry of progress, International Women’s Day illuminates our path forward, a beacon guiding us toward #equality and #empowerment. I was honoured that #BRIG asked for my reflections. Whilst it is a great day for celebration, I could not help but consider that it is important to reflect, act, and elevate the voices that too often remain marginalised - those of black and global majority women. Let's not just talk about #inclusion but about #belonging for black & global majority women. It’s time to #breakbarriers, #amplifyvoices, and take #meaningfulaction. Together, let’s create a world where every woman feels valued, heard, and empowered. #Equity #BlackandGlobalMajority #IWD2024 Atif A.

As we’ve had to learn and re-learn, and as Michelle Obama highlighted in her final remarks as First Lady: Freedom is not something we can take for granted. As we celebrate Women’s History Month and honor the women who have paved the way for us, we must remember the importance of preserving and protecting our hard-won rights, as well standing up for our fellow citizens as they do the same.⁠ ⁠ Obama’s comments—originally addressed to students—ring especially true at a time when girls, young women, and other marginalized young people raise their voices amid hate and oppression and refuse to be quiet about injustice. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in building a society that protects and includes everyone and champions the needs of all, as well as a reminder to honor and learn from those already doing the work. The Women’s History Month theme this year, “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion,” celebrates the tireless efforts of women fighting every day for a more just and fair society. We all have a role to play. Vote. Advocate. Learn. Amplify the voices of those championing change. Support those working to create a more multifaceted, welcoming, and unbiased world by listening to their stories, sharing their experiences, and adding your own voice to the conversation. Together, we can build on the progress so many women before us have set in motion. #WomensHistoryMonth #MichelleObama
