As we highlight these trailblazers, I hope that you find the courage to awaken the trailblazer inside of you. Historically, women were not given the same opportunities as men. Women were told to follow the societal rule of “women are to be seen and not heard.” However, Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark challenged [...]

In Honor of Black History Month: The Work is Not Yet Done

2023-02-08T12:17:14-08:00

This year marks 404 years since the first enslaved person disembarked onto American soil, 158 years since the abolishment of slavery, 156 years since Independence Day for enslaved people, and 57 years since the ending of Jim Crow.
