Though we hoot and holler about women’s achievements all year long, today, International Women’s Day (#IWD2018), is one more excuse to collectively raise our voices and continue to #PressForProgress (this year’s campaign hashtag).
How do we do that? By challenging bias and inspiring others to take action on behalf of women. By celebrating how far we’ve come. By […]
