ARE YOU FEELING SOCIAL?

It’s easy to want to be likable, but being authentically you will always be more important. And as Nigerian writer and novelist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, shares, find the people who like you for you.
Something to sail-abrate! The crew of “Maiden” became the first all-female crew to win a round the world yacht race. The 14 crews who compete in the Ocean Globe Race use no modern technology to navigate, but follow the sun and stars for direction. “Maiden” and the international crew on board finished their voyage in just over 153 days. For context, the race is a 27,000 mile sprint around the globe, beginning and ending in Southampton, UK. And not only did they win the race, but none had ever taken on a challenge of this scale, and only one crew member had sailed in the Southern Ocean prior. 👏
Naomi doesn’t miss a beat. Rude. Difficult. Emotional. Bossy. Women are often labeled simply for using their voice and standing up for themselves and their boundaries. Thank you, @naomi, for leading by example and speaking up! 👏
“Women spoke repeatedly, loudly, together with a purpose! The backlash is evidence of how powerful their voices were.” Thank you, Mariska Hargitay 👏
As an extension of the state’s paid #parentalleave, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announces 20 additional hours for pregnant women to use for #prenatal appointments. Why is this important? It provides equal quality care for mothers and babies, which can quite literally be life saving. She shared, “No one should ever have to fear seeking care because of the costs it will impose or time missed from work." In New York, the mortality rate for Black infants was 2.8 times higher than that of white or Hispanic infants in 2019, and people of color generally are less likely to receive routine, quality care which drives this disparity even further. “We hope what we’re doing in New York will raise the bar for the rest of the nation,” Hochul said “Consistent medical care in the early months makes all the difference.” 👏 This is critical care!

Dorothy Height, an American civil rights and womens’ activist, was once turned away from Barnard College in 1929, even after receiving an official acceptance letter. “I was accepted at Barnard College and was denied admission when I arrived because they had a quota of two (Negroes),” she said. “They did not know that I was not white…I was turned away.” She didn’t let that stop her. Instead, she took the subway downtown to NYU, Barnard acceptance letter in hand, and was accepted that same afternoon. “From that day forward, I have loved every brick of that university,” Height wrote in her memoir, Open Wide the Freedom Gates. She fought relentlessly for equality and justice and was so deeply involved with the Civil Rights Movement that she was often called upon to share advice on political issues. Her awards and recognitions are many, but one of the most powerful things she teaches us is that it’s entirely possible to take the one thing that tried to break you, and turn it into something powerful—for yourself and the greater good.
Did you know that Courteney Cox was the first person to say “period” on American television in a 1985 ad for @tampax? Menstruation is part of life for more than half the world’s population, and 800 million people menstruate daily – many of whom are without safe and sanitary facilities and menstrual products. It’s time to remove any shame or stigma around #menstruation. Thank you, Courteney for blazing the trail!
Let’s normalize career breaks once and for all! 👏 Did you know that @linkedin has a feature that allows users to reference a break in their career? The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Current Population Survey of the Census Bureau report that there are roughly 3.4 million educated, working-age parents who are on a career break for childcare reasons – that includes 2.9 million women. No matter the reason, be it childcare, health issues, family logistics, or personal reasons (burnout, anyone?), excluding candidates with a gap in their resume leaves an entire pool of talent untapped – many of whom are women. 👉 Kenny Rose via LinkedIn #workplaceculture #careerbreak #resume
Appearing in over sixty movies throughout her career, Anna May Wong was the first Chinese American Hollywood star. Wong rose to stardom in a time when Chinese Americans were unjustly perceived as foreigners in American society. Her cinematic work and public persona were pivotal in beginning to shatter those stereotypes. Wong persevered, proudly showcasing her identity as Chinese-American, all while challenging discriminatory laws that hindered Chinese immigration and citizenship in the U.S. during the 1920s. Join us in celebrating #AAPIHeritageMonth, honoring Anna May Wong who fearlessly blazed a trail through the golden age of Hollywood. Wong’s career undoubtedly opened doors for generations of actors to come! #AnnaMayWong #AAPI
