I was honored to be the keynote speaker at the RMU Women's Leadership & Mentorship Program's 7th Annual Women and Transformational Leadership Symposium held at Robert Morris University. During my speech, I discussed why I believe women are both the sugar and the salt of the earth. We bring so much flavor and strength to everything we do! The statistics are clear: women are vastly underrepresented in leadership positions. This has to change! We offer diverse perspectives and essential skills across all industries. Because strength comes in numbers, let's celebrate women supporting women! Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are essential, but empowering each other is key. #womensempowerment #WomenSupportingWomen #Diversityandinclusion

And, yours truly will lead a breakout session: Mental Wellness for Women Leaders!  Meet you there!

Indeed it's not too late to grab those tickets for Women's Agenda Leadership Awards where I will be the MC. This morning, after reading the 2024 Women in the Workplace from McKinsey & Company shared on #TechDiversity ’s social page, I felt a profound mix of pride and urgency. As I prepare to MC the Women’s Leadership Awards on October 23rd, I’m reminded of the progress we've made but also of the work that still lies ahead. The report, marking its 10th year, lays bare both the advancements and the continued challenges for women in the workforce—particularly women of color. According to the report, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 54 Black women make that same leap—a statistic that hit me hard this morning. It’s a reminder that despite our strides, systemic obstacles persist, keeping too many women from reaching leadership roles. The report also underscores how microaggressions and workplace bias continue to disproportionately affect women, contributing to burnout and disengagement. These are issues I see reflected in the stories I hear every day within our TechDiversity community. It's clear that while some companies are making strides—such as offering more flexibility and bias training—we need to push for deeper, more accountable changes, particularly around career development and mentorship. As we gather for the Women’s Leadership Awards, it’s not just a celebration of those who have made it, but a call to action for all of us to keep pushing for equity.
