March Recap: Celebrating International Women's Day 🌟
|
Hi Reader, As we bid farewell to March, we reflect on a month filled with significant milestones and memorable experiences. Without a doubt, the highlight of the month was our celebration of the 2024 International Women's Day which was put on by us through our organization Monument Women's Creative Alliance. This event brought together our community in a powerful display of unity, empowerment, and advocacy for gender equality. From thought-provoking panel discussions to engaging activities at the Vendor Fair, the day was filled with memorable moments that will resonate with us for years to come. We witnessed the power of diversity and inclusion in driving innovation across industries, reaffirming our commitment to fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. As we look back on the success of the 2024 International Women's Day Soiree, we are reminded of the incredible impact we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose. Let us carry the spirit of empowerment and solidarity forward, continuing to advocate for gender equality in all aspects of our lives. P.S. Did you miss the panel discussion? Or do you want to relive the inspiring moment again? Watch the full panel discussion below. |

Hi Reader, At first, it felt a little strange being the oldest students in the room. Rachel and I were at the MD Venture Student Showcase, where we and 9 other student startups were awarded $50,000 for student-led entrepreneurship ventures. We were recognized for WholeSite, our AI-assisted website creation platform (in case you missed it, here’s a link to the press release.) The youngest recipients were an 11th grader and a 12th grader, which means Rachel and I were literally old enough to be...
