Game-changing game: strong.
To kick off a new “Impact” category on this site and in honor of Women’s History Month, I’m starting a news roundup to keep us up-to-date with current happenings in all things women-related, and to educate us on female standouts of times past as well.
This effort to deliver more content that enlightens us and inspires us to strive in our own worlds also aligns with the launch of my impact initiative to provide pro-bono services for non-profits focused on the empowerment and education of girls (contact me for more!).
Hope you learn something new here that lifts you up!
