WHM Resources: Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
As Women's History Month unfolds, we find ourselves reflecting not only on the remarkable achievements of women throughout history but also on the ongoing struggles for equity, diversity, and inclusion. This year's theme, "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion," resonates deeply with the mission of BoldHER, to create a dynamic, approachable, and diverse network that empowers women holistically in any phase of their career. At BoldHER, we believe that fostering an environment of inclusivity and equality is essential for driving change. This month we celebrate those women who have fought tirelessly for our rights and we feel lucky to play a small part in this impactful movement to empower women around the world.
Below, our leadership team compiled valuable WHM resources focused on the theme of equity, diversity and inclusion. We encourage you to engage and share these resources with your networks!
