🌟 Honoring Women's History Month 🌟 As we celebrate Women's History Month, I'm reminded of the incredible strength and resilience that women embody every single day. We are survivors, warriors, and trailblazers, overcoming obstacles and breaking down barriers with unwavering determination. For me, survival isn't just about enduring; it's about thriving in the face of adversity. It's about turning challenges into opportunities, setbacks into comebacks, and pain into power. As a survivor of my own life's trials, I know firsthand the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of perseverance. But our journey doesn't end with our own triumphs. It's also about lifting each other up, advocating for those whose voices have been silenced, and fighting for a more equitable and just world for all women. This Women's History Month, let's celebrate the achievements of women past and present, honor the resilience of survivors everywhere, and recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of advocacy and empowerment. Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive future for generations to come. 💪✨ Learn more about my story: loriprashkerthomas.com #WomensHistoryMonth #Survivor #Advocacy #Empowerment

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

True leaders are never afraid to share, provide, and pour into others. It's called” Lead with Giving” … That is who we are! #womenwholead #leadership #personaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment #womeninbusiness

As we reflect on the month of March, traditionally celebrated as Women's History Month, it's vital to recognize that the legacies of remarkable women, especially those from BIPOC communities, are not confined to any single month. The contributions of these women are woven into the fabric of our daily lives, shaping the society we live in, the freedoms we enjoy, and the innovations that propel us forward. Yet, too often, the stories of these trailblazers remain unsung, their achievements tucked away in the footnotes of history. It is not enough to honor these women with a fleeting acknowledgment; their legacies deserve to be integrated into the mainstream narrative, celebrated and remembered 24/7, for their impact transcends time and is felt in countless ways, every single day. The challenge we face is not merely one of remembrance but of active recognition and amplification. It is up to us—educators, leaders, parents, peers—to ensure that the tales of BIPOC women who have contributed to our collective progress are told and retold. These women, from scientists to activists, from inventors to pioneers in arts and culture, have not only shaped their respective fields but have also paved the way for future generations to dream bigger and reach further. Let us challenge ourselves and others to provide space for these stories, not just in our history books but in our conversations and platforms. By doing so, we acknowledge the undeniable truth that our combined success is built on the diverse and powerful contributions of all individuals, particularly those who have had to overcome the greatest barriers to leave their indelible mark on our world. #womenshistorymonth #ourfacesourvoices

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
