Yes 👏 to 👏 this 👏 To debunk traditional gender stereotypes and advance equality, we must begin from childhood. When speaking to your daughters, nieces, cousins, friend’s babies, etc., use words to describe their actions, not their appearance. 🎥: @sierabearchell

We all have those voices in our head. Maybe it was before a big meeting, when you made that presentation. Maybe it was after you won a promotion, or landed that big account. You should have been celebrating, but instead, all you could think about was the nagging feeling that you just weren’t up to the task. It’s called #impostersyndrome, the belief that you are not qualified or good enough — and the fear that everyone is about to find out. Imposter syndrome is fundamentally about confidence, so we all need to cheer each other on. As #IssaRae shared, when we’re socially conditioned to be humble or downplay ourselves it holds women back. Own your strengths and know your value! When you know your worth, find your voice, and stand in your power, you set your own parameters for success. A big shout out to Issa for being a boss … and being proud of it!

Postpartum depression affects 15% of women, disproportionately impacting Black mothers, yet it remains taboo. After giving birth, Dola Posh felt isolated and ashamed. She shared, “I buried my head in shame, I just felt so much shame because it’s like I’m not even a good mother. I don’t have the strength to be a mother.” Dola was persuaded to see a therapist, who encouraged her to use her camera. Dola turned her camera on herself, creating a breathtakingly raw series of self-portraits that capture her journey. She said, “I want a world where Black mothers don’t have to carry so much burden and feel like they have to go through that journey alone and I want them to look in the media and see a reflection of themselves trying to make things work.” ❤️

Have you heard of Charity Adams-Earley? Lt. Col. Charity E. Adams-Earley made history as the highest-ranking Black woman officer during World War II, and now her incredible story is brought to life in The Six Triple Eight, starring Kerry Washington. The film tells the true story of the war’s only Women’s Army Corps unit of color—855 women tasked with the seemingly impossible mission of sorting and shipping 17 million pieces of backlogged mail to soldiers who hadn’t heard from home in months. Despite being essential to morale on the frontlines, these women faced relentless discrimination from both within the military and society at large. Given six months to complete the task, the 6888th accomplished their mission in less than 90 days, This is more than a war story—it’s a powerful testament to hope and resilience.

It took a record-low birth rate to prompt the Tokyo government to address the financial burden of childcare. Japan recorded only 727,277 births last year, according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare—a troubling milestone attributed, in part, to an intense overtime culture that forces many women to choose between pursuing a career or starting a family. While it’s disheartening that such drastic measures were needed to spark change, initiatives like free childcare services and egg-freezing programs mark a step forward. It is also adding a new “childcare partial leave” policy, which will allow some employees to work two fewer hours per day. “We will continue to review work styles flexibly to ensure that women do not have to sacrifice their careers due to life events such as childbirth or child-rearing,” said Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike. These efforts not only support individuals but also pave the way for a more sustainable and equitable society. Progress is progress. When we build a future where women thrive, everyone wins.

"Pressure is a privilege." Serena Williams reminded us of this powerful truth during an inspiring event at Art Basel, hosted by Audemars Piguet, Vanity Fair and The Female Quotient. She shared how reframing pressure as an honor rather than a burden has shaped her journey, saying, "When you win a lot, people expect you to win—but it's even bigger news when you lose. That pressure can be stressful, but if you see it as a privilege, it changes everything. I'd rather have it than not." This unforgettable gathering celebrated women’s leadership—on and off the court—and featured conversations with icons like Serena Williams and Simone Biles. They reflected on their personal and professional journeys, emphasizing resilience, authenticity, and mental health. The event highlighted the transformative power of women’s voices across industries. Moments like these inspire action. After all, when women lead, we all win.

Between 2011 and 2020, Dominique Pelicot secretly drugged his now ex-wife, Gisèle, with tranquilizers and sleeping pills. Unbeknownst to her, he invited dozens of men–recruited online–to assault and rape her while she was unconscious in their home in Mazan, France. This week, after enduring a grueling four-month trial, Gisèle addressed the courtroom in Avignon following the sentencing of her ex-husband and 50 accomplices, who received prison terms ranging from three to 20 years. She said, “I want you to know that we share the same fight. Your messages moved me deeply, and they gave me the strength to come back, every day, and survive through these long daily hearings. This trial was a very difficult ordeal.” “It’s also for them that I led this fight,” she said of her grandchildren. “I wanted all of society to be a witness to the debates that took place here. I never regretted making this decision. I have trust in our capacity to collectively project ourselves toward a future where all, women and men, can live in harmony, with respect and mutual understanding. Thank you.”

Kylie Kelcie’s podcast Not Gonna Lie has achieved something remarkable: it’s turned the podcasting world upside down in a way few could have predicted. The show shot straight to #1 on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify. What’s even more impressive is that it did this in a space traditionally dominated by well-established media powerhouses and, let’s face it, predominantly male voices. So, what makes Kylie’s success so extraordinary? It’s her ability to tackle a topic that many shy away from—the complexity of modern family dynamics. These are conversations that often go unspoken, but Kylie’s approach makes them feel relatable, raw, and most importantly, necessary. She’s not afraid to dive into the messiness of family life. It’s a conversation we don’t often hear enough, but when we do, it feels like a breath of fresh air.
