In the tenth year of the Women in the Workplace research, in partnership with LeanIn.Org, this effort is the largest study of women in corporate America. The report provides an intersectional look at the specific biases and barriers faced by Asian, Black, Latina, and LGBTQ+ women, as well as women with disabilities. McKinsey reflects on the notable gains women have made—and how their experiences at work are, in many ways, the same or worse than ten years ago. Take the pledge and join us at Our52.org!

🌟 Day 3 of Construction Inclusion Week focuses on Supplier Diversity! Supplier diversity ensures that businesses owned by underrepresented groups—such as minority, women, LGBTQ+, veteran, and disability-owned businesses—have access to procurement opportunities. It’s not just about inclusivity; it’s about driving innovation, fostering resilience, and creating economic opportunities for diverse communities. By prioritizing supplier diversity, we help build a stronger, more equitable industry.

Since January 1, 2025, B Lab Europe is offering a 40% discount on #BCorp certification for businesses led by women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. This isn’t just a discount—it’s about creating space for underrepresented voices to be heard and valued. It’s about making it easier for diverse businesses to join the movement and amplify their impact. For our community, it means more opportunities to build a truly inclusive network, where everyone—regardless of background—has the chance to collaborate, learn from each other, and most importantly, shape a future that benefits all of us.

On this International Day of Men, let’s pause to reflect on the often-overlooked role of men in today’s discourse on equality. While it’s crucial to champion the rights and voices of women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those with disabilities, we must also acknowledge the unique challenges that men face in a rapidly changing society. In our pursuit of inclusivity, have we inadvertently sidelined men’s contributions and struggles? From mental health issues to the pressures of traditional masculinity, men too navigate complex societal expectations. Celebrating men today isn’t about diminishing the fight for equality; it’s about recognizing that every voice matters in the quest for a balanced society. Let’s open up the conversation and ensure that as we uplift marginalized groups, we also create space for men to share their experiences and seek support. After all, true equality means listening to everyone. #InternationalMen´sDay #TrueEquality

When it comes to running for office, women face more barriers than men–and those barriers are further amplified for queer women. But if we want to see a truly representative government, we need more LGBTQIA+ women in office! Hear from Annise Parker, LGBTQ+ Victory Fund and Victory Institute President + CEO, how queer women can overcome barriers to elected leadership:

J O U R N E Y 🚦🏳️🌈 Reflecting on my professional journey, I am struck by the immense growth and transformation I have experienced over the past few years. For eight years, I worked with an organization while navigating the challenges of being closeted. Seeking better opportunities, I eventually decided to leave and relocate to Gurgaon, which brought me to new and exciting professional landscapes. Returning to Mumbai after one year marked a significant turning point in my life. I was invited back to the same organization, not as an employee but as a panelist and participant in a skit, celebrating my identity on a grand scale. This invitation felt like a culmination of my one-year journey from being closeted to embracing my true self openly and proudly. 💬 I often wonder if the relocation played a role in this transformation. Perhaps it provided the necessary #distance and #perspective to understand my worth and the importance of authenticity. #Relocating allowed me to rediscover my strength and voice, empowering me to come out and celebrate my identity without fear. This journey has reaffirmed my belief in the power of embracing one's true self and the incredible support of inclusive workplaces. I am deeply grateful for the encouragement and acceptance I have received from my colleagues and peers. As I continue this journey, I am committed to #advocating for LGBTQIA rights and fostering environments where everyone can thrive authentically. Here's to embracing change, celebrating diversity, and living our truths boldly! #CareerJourney #LGBTQIA #Inclusion #Diversity #Authenticity #ProfessionalGrowth

Breaking Barriers: The Rise of #LBTQ+ Women in the Boardroom As we celebrate Pride Month and the second anniversary of the Association of LGBTQ+ Corporate Directors, the Association partnered with Women Business Collaborative to highlight how LBTQ+ women’s representation in corporate America remains a critical frontier. Despite 7.4% of adult Americans identifying as LGBTQ+, only 0.8% of Fortune 500 and 1.2% of NASDAQ board seats are occupied by LGBTQ+ individuals. LBTQ+ women's presence is even lower. Inspirational figures like Beth Ford, Myrna Soto, and Heather Hiles highlight the value LBTQ+ women bring to boardrooms. It's time to bridge the gap through visibility, networking, and allyship. Read more about this critical issue for our community and our efforts to drive change in my latest article on WBC insights: LBTQ+ Women In The Boardroom: Breaking Barriers And Building Bridges. https://lnkd.in/erJtBSC6 #LGBTQ #PrideMonth #Diversity #Inclusion #CorporateGovernance #Boardroom #Leadership #Allyship #Equality Betsy Bernard, Chiqui Cartagena, Denice Torres, Imara Jones
