To Crystal & Jasmine, thank you both for taking time out to indulge me and connecting the dots about DEI, your work ensuring DEI programming continues to exist, and what we can do to hold corps, businesses, and/or orgs that we work for, support, love, and/or trust are prioritizing diversity, inclusion, and equity for all.🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

A very big THANK YOU to Thea Faulkner and Carla Kirkland for tapping me to moderate this awesome panel. 😘

Working women are facing
extraordinary challenges in the US. But it's not the same for everyone, from one state to the next policies around wages, protections, and even rights vary dramatically. States that are restricting women's access to abortion are the same states that have no paid
