Today, I had the pleasure of attending a Womens Golf Day event put on by Mass Golf. This event is part of a bigger movement that celebrates women and girls playing golf and learning skills that transcend the golf course and last a lifetime. 🙌🙌

When you meet new WOOW Woman at our community gatherings, I encourage you to consider how you can each lift one another up as you continue to climb towards your next destination! I love this example of Simone Biles living our community value - Lift as you climb. Do you have any other examples to share?! Leave them below in the comments!
'Lift as you climb’ is one of our community values at Women on Our Way (WOOW)'. The USA Olympics team embodied a beautiful example of this in practice - In 2019, Jordan Chiles was on the verge of quitting after being repeatedly passed over for big competitions due to inconsistency in her performance. Simone Biles, being the WOOW Woman she is, knew Jordan still had untapped potential, so she invited her to move across the country to come train with her at her gym. After arriving, they didn't dive straight into building skills, but instead focussed on building Jordan's confidence. Now, both Simone and Jordan are at the Olympics where together they've won gold for their country in the Women's Artistic Team All-Around competition 🌟 Winning is great, but it's even better to win together. WOOW Women know that there's room for us all at the top, and we're committed to helping each other to get there!

It's true. After over seven years and countless memories made, it's time for me to cycle out of my leadership positions within the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP Global) & the Association of Fundraising Professionals - New York City Chapter (AFP-NYC). Taking a step back from AFP is proving to be an emotional journey, intertwined with threads of bittersweet sentiments. Saying goodbye (see you later?) to an organization that has become a part of my identity is not easy. Stepping down means leaving behind a dedicated team and a cause that has become deeply ingrained in my heart. Celebrating successes, witnessing the growth of individuals within the organization, and contributing to meaningful changes in our industry have fostered a profound sense of fulfillment within me. I am looking at this departure as not an end but a transition—a passing of the baton. Cycling off the Global and NYC boards will offer an opportunity for fresh perspectives and for new minds to invigorate AFP's mission. Cycling off isn't a farewell; it is a culmination of experiences that have shaped not only the organization but also my own growth and perspective. The bittersweet emotions are a testament to the depth of the connections made and the significance of the journey undertaken. In case you need further evidence, take a look at some of my favorite memories below...

Talk about stepping up!
In May, US polo team captain Maggie Steffens asked for financial help on Instagram. Flavor Flav – William Jonathan Drayton Jr – answered the call: “As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports, imma personally sponsor you, my girl, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team.” Flav signed a five-year sponsorship deal to “elevate the visibility and excitement surrounding water polo in the United States.” The sponsorship includes personal appearances and financial contributions to help with equipment, facilities, and anything else they need. This is how it’s done 👏

Clyde Martin was a notable figure in the history of golf, particularly during a time when racial segregation was prevalent. In 1939, Clyde Martin achieved a groundbreaking milestone by being named the head professional at the segregated Langston Golf Course in Washington, D.C. At that time, Langston Golf Course served as a designated facility for African-American golfers due to the segregation policies of the era. Despite the challenges of racial segregation, Clyde Martin excelled in his role as head professional, showcasing his skills and expertise in the sport. His appointment at Langston Golf Course was a significant achievement, as it provided opportunities for African-American golfers to access quality instruction and facilities. Troon and its affiliates currently manages the Langston Golf Course, a National Links Trust facility. Established as a designated facility for African-American golfers, Langston became a symbol of progress and equality in the world of golf. It provided a platform for individuals to come together, share their passion for the sport, and contribute to the rich tapestry of the golfing community in the nation's capital. Langston Golf Course's commitment to openness and inclusivity made it a unique and vital institution. It not only offered a place for golf enthusiasts to hone their skills but also became a hub for community engagement and camaraderie. The course's history reflects a resilience against racial barriers, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose among its diverse patrons.

My recent blog 'Its high time to develop a comprehensive strategy to combat racism in Ireland.' Have a full read here
‘I was watching the European Athletics Championship in Italy with an Irish family and saw the stunning performance of the 21-year-old sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke. 'We were all excited and cheerful and had tears of joy watching the young Irish talented performance. The whole country was cheerful and celebrated her success. 'The following week, as I was broadcasting on my radio show, I heard the top-of-hour news on the radio that Adeleke had been a victim of online racism and hate. 'Hearing that turned the happy moment to sadness. An inspiring young woman, world-class champion, was having to endure online hatred by cowards trying to bring her down. 'Although it was encouraging to see the solidarity shown by the media, community leaders, organisations across the whole of Ireland, the abuse Adeleke has faced is reflective of what many in our society are dealing with on a daily basis. 'People in racialised and marginalised communities, migrants, ethnic minorities, women of colour, face double discrimination: social exclusion and racism based on the colour of their skin, plus the further marginalisation that comes with living in poverty, facing homelessness and economic insecurity.’ 👉 Read Doras’ latest blog: ‘It is high time to develop a comprehensive strategy to combat racism in Ireland’ by our Project Coordinator Fahmeda Naheed 👉 https://lnkd.in/eDcFP-4M
