More than just "A" first, She is the first woman and Asian-American to be part of a winning presidential ticket, and will be the first Black American to become vice president.

As women, we come from different places, backgrounds, religions, races and certainly political parties. But despite our differences, it’s always exciting to see women succeed. Congratulations to the first female Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris!

This is your shot! Women have the momentum and how we have a suite of tools to sharpen our leadership skills.

If you have an ounce of aspiration and a dream of what you could accomplish, join us for a two-part program that will help you map your path from dream to reality and then show you how to build the network that makes it deliver for you.

We've partnered with She Should Run to build a training that gives we southern women a confidence boost combined with a tight course load. You don't have to be running for elected office. The tools for mapping your plan, building your network, and making it work can be shaped to your personal direction.

We've also just had a generous donor offer 10 scholarships to future women leaders, so if you're interested, in the scholarships, email [email protected] today.

It's showtime for women. Let's roll!

Our upcoming two-part workshop called Pathways to Power can help you explore ways you can make your leadership contribution real! Excited about our collaboration with She Should Run.

If you all know anyone who hasn't completed their US Census, please give them a big push. We're behind (45.9%!) in a way that will heavily penalize schools, healthcare, safety. And it's women who are not filling out their Census. Do it online. https://2020census.gov Can't find the mailer? They'll walk you through it all.

South Carolina is currently 45.9% behind in its response rate for the 2020 Census. Not good!

What was supposed to be a record high participation, is now off course due to the coronavirus. And who is NOT filling out the census this year? Women!

Without more women completing the census, our state could lose resources needed to ensure health, nutrition for children, and ways out of the domestic violence cycle.

Learn why we need more women to fill out out the census https://bddy.me/2x2sIuE
