Empowering the Next Generation: Celebrating Women's History Month
Because I work with parents of young children, I believe that empowering women begins with supporting girls—helping them build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills from an early age.
One of the best ways to do this is by getting our daughters involved in organizations that uplift, mentor, and encourage them to pursue their dreams. Whether through leadership development, STEM education, sports, or advocacy, these organizations are shaping the next generation of fearless female leaders.
March is Women’s History Month, a time to reflect on the incredible achievements of women past and present. As a proud Board Member of WO3 Connect, a grassroots movement to partner, promote and support women-owned businesses, I will be interviewing some AMAZING female entrepreneurs who contribute to the success of families. I would appreciate you getting involved in W03 Day on March 29, 2025. It's easy and it's FUN!
To celebrate Women’s History Month, I want to highlight some amazing girl empowerment organizations that provide incredible opportunities for girls to grow, learn, and lead.
