WIF’s Post

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

Good afternoon beautiful world 🌍❤️, SUCCESS champions the power and strength of women.

Thanks Aleya Harris, CPCE for your insights and being an absolute force of nature and inspiring action at USC Women's Conference Virtual Mentorship & Networking Session tonight! I had the honor to host a breakout session on one of my favorite topics - NetGiving - fostering meaningful connections and genuine relationships and offering resources, advice, or guidance without expecting immediate transactions in return. There was great vulnerability and generosity in the group. What insights, resources, or words of wisdom can you share? Let's build a supportive community together! - Tomorrow is my last day (involuntary) at work. How do I leave with grace and remark on the next chapter with success? - I’ve been applying to internships and none have accepted me yet, any advice? - I’m a recent grad, and I’m not feeling accomplished at all because despite earning my degree, I haven’t found work, and I’m not sure I’m clear on my career path.  - I’ve been trying to break into the entertainment industry and am hitting dead ends. I’m lacking a network to help.  - I’ve passed The Bar (lawyer) but am feeling lost- is this even the career I’m looking for? #netgiving #collectivewisdom #helpingeachother #generositymatters

🌟 Happy Women's History Month! 🌟 As a Black woman, I celebrate this month by reflecting on the incredible journey and the monumental contributions of women to the civil rights movement and the ongoing fight for social justice, equity, and inclusion. Throughout history, women have been the backbone of change, often juggling multiple roles – from nurturing homes as mothers and wives to leading on the front lines of activism. Yet, the work and sacrifices of these remarkable women frequently go unrecognized, overshadowed by their male counterparts, despite their dual roles in the professional world and at home. This month, I’m excited to shine a light on the women who have tirelessly fought for our rights, often while managing a household and a career, proving resilience and strength in the face of adversity. Women's contributions to social justice have shaped our world, from Claudette Colvin’s and Rosa Parks' defiant stand against segregation to Fannie Lou Hamer's and Stacy Abram’s relentless fight for voting rights. These women, and countless others, have paved the way for future generations, embodying the essence of courage and determination. Their legacy is a testament to the power of women's voices in creating a more equitable and inclusive society. However, the fight for equality is ongoing. Women continue to face disparities in pay and representation, especially Black women and women of color, who encounter even greater obstacles. As we celebrate Women's History Month, I urge you to commit to action. I call on male allies to stand with us in advocating for equity and fair pay for all women. It's time to recognize and value the indispensable roles women play in our lives and our movements for change. Let's honor the women of the past by continuing their fight for justice and equality. Support women-led initiatives, advocate for policies that ensure fair treatment and opportunities, and celebrate the achievements of women in every field. We can create a world that values and uplifts every woman; it will take a collaborative approach. Change is a collective responsibility! It’s up to all of us. Let’s clap for women!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #WomensHistoryMonth #CelebrateWomen #SocialJustice #Equity #Inclusion #FairPayForWomen #AdvocateForChange

Financial literacy is of paramount importance for women. It empowers us to make informed financial decisions, secure our financial future, and break down economic disparities. Educating and promoting financial literacy among women is not just a matter of economic empowerment but also a step towards a brighter future for all.
