Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP’s Post

Can we talk about Jotaka Eaddy, Founder of #WinWithBlackWomen and the impact of starting your own business? I am inspired by the momentum I have been witnessing since last night and the impact of 44,000 Black Women jumping on a Zoom and raising over 1.5 Million for Kamala Harris' campaign. But I am most impressed by the impact of using your talents, skills, and natural GIFTS to impact the world. Go Jotaka! Start those side hustles!!!

Proud dad alert - wonderful podcast on the journey of four women in finance!

Thank you Meredith C. Moore for inviting us to this year’s luncheon & for literally bringing us to the table to support the The Atlanta Women's Foundation & the much needed services they provide to women and girls in Atlanta. Since 1998, they have invested over $27 million in Atlanta across Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton, and Gwinnett counties. Incredible turnout of around 1,700 people and congratulations on raising around $300,000 in 10 mins. Here are some statistics that were shared that highlight the importance of this work: 1️⃣Less than 2% of total US charitable giving goes to organizations serving women and girls. 2️⃣Women and girls are twice as likely to experience mental health issues, a number that only increases for those living in poverty. 3️⃣The percentage of high school girls who have seriously considered attempting suicide rose from 24.1% to 30% in recent years. 4️⃣17% of women 18 years and older live in poverty. 5️⃣Women make up nearly two-thirds of the 40 lowest-paying jobs. 6️⃣The largest demographic living in poverty are women ages 25 to 34, followed by those 18 to 24, and then 35 to 44. 7️⃣Nearly 80,000 girls live in poverty in Metro Atlanta. This is some of what the foundation has been able to achieve: 1️⃣12,000 women have gained access to employment opportunities. 2️⃣1,200 women have received childcare scholarships. 3️⃣Over 20,000 women have accessed critical mental health services.

I come from an industry that is predominantly powered by #women However, even today, most industries are dominated by men. In 2022, #data collected from the International Labour Organization concluded that, out of 180 countries - the #unitedstates ranks number 71 for % of women in the workforce. The percentage of women in the #workforce in the U.S is 46.38% Women remain #underrepresented at all levels, in most industries. However, know that when you call 9-1-1 it’s likely that the #hero under the headset is a #strong , #brave , #courageous #female According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report in 2021 - 74% if 911 operators are women. “People need to see leaders who look like themselves, to understand that it’s possible for them.” Happy #womenshistorymonth #womenempowerment #womenchangemakers #genderequality #911dispatch #911dispatcher #dispatchers #publicsafety #publicsector #everydayheroes

Our goals as a business are simple, and we apply organizing principles to achieve them. 1. Make sure your strategy (the words) drives action. 2. Make sure your operations (the workflows) make those actions easier. 3. Make sure your workforce (the community) is organized to achieve together. So when Erin Gallagher said she and her team needed support - we jumped at the chance to organize a group of people around an action, drive that action, and make it easier for more to join in. The Hush Collaborative refuses to follow the business-as-usual line that political neutrality is the default policy. Simply by existing, we are political. We support and will continue to support Hype Women and #hypewomenforharris because we deeply believe in women's collective power to create change within and outside systems. We believe in the power of HYPE and storytelling to bring us together, connect us, and propel us all forward. We share values, including being #honestforgood, telling it like it is, and centering truth over comfort. But most of all, we are biased towards action, in our business and in our personal lives. Doing something – anything is the fastest way to learn, grow, and create more action. If you haven't heard, Hype Women will continue the momentum of this incredible kick-off call with SEVEN MORE! Follow us. Join us. Take action.
