The housewife stereotype has long since shattered - it's all about leaning in, breaking the glass ceiling, closing the wage gap and more.
A Gender Equality At Workplace
A problematic situation that I would like to address and change at work equal gender rights. Gender rights are a significant issue in the workplace because sometimes people are not treated right in the workforce. Research has shown that women are underrepresented at each level, and ladies of shading are the most underrepresented gathering of all, lingering behind Men (Schooley,2019). I would use the Kotter eight-stage model to help gain awareness of gender equality and make a good vision of the change to coordinate the activity and create effective systems to help the group accomplish it. The Kotter eight-stage model reflects upon, lighting a fire for change, getting the right people on board, painting a compelling picture, communicating the change widely, removing obstacles and empowering people to change, achieve and celebrate quick wins, keep it moving, and making changes stick (Richard,2014). Lighting a fire can reflect on influencing others that Gender equality is an issue in the workplace. Workshops and presentations can help internal stakeholders understand the problem and what changes will need to be made.

Dear Isabel Pauley... In late 2015 I met you. You were an ADA in the Major Crimes Unit of the Chatham County District attorney's office. My probationer, L.P. was an unmedicated mess (not her fault). It was her mother. For months, her mother would cover up her part in L.'s issues, and her missing daughter. The adult probation office didn't notice that a little 15 year girl was at an adult offenders home. When I found out and called them they didn't care. Terry McMurry then with the Thunderbolt Police department would check on L. P. on his way home, just to make sure she was safe. (Thank You Terry, you helped me save her life. To Sean Clayton the now Chief of Thunderbolt..You getting Chief of Police was something done right. You should be ashamed of Kevin Diagou, I am. You and I worked the N. A. case together until Feb 2016. You don't know but I tried to get him on an EM and Judge Colbert wouldn't. You might remember that N. A,'s brother was killed and N. A. was shot himself. We could have prevented that. I tried. )
Justice for AllPublished 3 years ago in VivaMy Journey in Construction Technology
I’ve spent the past 13 years of my life using cutting-edge technology to optimize construction. It may not be surprising to hear that construction is one of the least digitized sectors of the world economy, second only to agriculture. However, McKinsey Global Institute stated that “the construction sector is one of the largest in the world economy, with about $10 trillion spent on construction-related goods and services every year.” Grace Ellis, of Autodesk, reported that “23% of [construction] firms report they are taking steps to improve jobsite performance with lean construction techniques, tools like [Building Information Modeling], and offsite prefabrication.” I am working hard to be the change I want to see. I work for a company that is owned by Stanford graduates. There is a world-renowned Stanford professor on our board of advisors along with one of the top people at Amazon Web Services. With all of that talent and knowledge, it can still sometimes feel like we are taking two steps forward and one step back. It’s progress, but it is a steady fight. When I started my journey in construction technology, we were in the thick of the great recession. I was a year away from graduating from UC Berkeley and took an internship at a well-established structural engineering firm. That internship changed the course of my future. I was fascinated by a little-known program at the time called Revit. It was like the easy button to all the heartache I had experienced with AutoCAD and this structural engineering firm was implementing it on all of their projects. I had to be a part of it.

Jane Goodall
“When I grow up, I want to study chimpanzees in the wild...just like Jane Goodall,” I wrote in zig-zagged sentences with misspelled words. My second-grade journal displayed my simple thoughts and aspirations: I wanted to be just like Jane Goodall.
Success is about Execution, not Likability. Kate Monroe is the living example of that rule.
We live in a society that tells young girls to smile and “just be nice” — because that will get them everything they want, right? No. It is a system that forces us to swallow our potential and ignore our drive. Because it isn’t “womanly” to want power and ambition. These are traditionally in the purview of men.

In times of great struggle, art is often looked to as a means of escape. Periods of hardship throughout history--from The Great Depression to the more recent COVID-19 pandemic--have demonstrated the appeal creative media has to brighten spirits and provide respite from troubling times. Celebration of art's beautiful ability to heal is the key philosophy behind BLISS Artistries, an online business run by Priscilla Barrnett. Being an author and fellow Vocal creator whose passion for writing goes back to when they were six, Barrnett first conceived BLISS Artistries as an avenue for publishing and promoting their books. As of writing this, Barrnett has released three novels, with their latest work being IMpERFeCTIoNS--a novel focusing on a collection of true stories about women with the hopes of showing female readers that, even in their times of despair, they are loved and they are not alone.

Being Black in science comes with a set of challenges. Black scientists and moreover Black professionals have to battle the forces of institutional and scientific racism. Hence we work tenfold to prove our value. But to be Black...and female...and neurodiverse is a whole new level.
Before it was Fashionable
You know, about thirty years ago, my Mom worked for the City of Philadelphia as a Tax Assessor. She was good at it too. Which, at the time was a pretty good job for a single Mom of two. She told me she took a test to get a better position, because she wanted to make sure her babies had a balance meal every night after she and my Father split. My Mom says, she remembers making sure we had meat, a green vegetable, a starch and some pudding or Jell-O for dessert. Some times we ate hot dogs and bake beans a lot, but we didn’t care we like hot dogs and bake beans. Mom said, but she cared and so she knew she had to do something about that.

Sorting through book donations is my favorite part of the job. I can get completely lost in a box of books. That’s why I wait till the quieter afternoons at the thrift store, when one of the other volunteers is out front, to pull out a box and go through it one volume at a time.

The date of this writing is March 1, 2021. I have been an Avon fan since the 90's. I am a registered independent sales representative. I have my own Avon website established. I am my only customer at this time because I rejoined the company right before the time that Corona Virus came upon our world, so I've put this endeavor on the backburner as I await a safer, healthier, and more lucrative opportunity to boost my business. I have much to say about the Avon (the company for women) and why I'm such a loyal fan of the company. I will begin by sharing a brief history of the business and my own history with them.

Covid- 19 had me bent all-the-way out of shape. I got laid off the job I always loved to complain about pretty early on, and now had the time to do whatever I so pleased. A small percentage of the laziest part of me was ecstatic for the time off but simultaneously I was weirdly worried to death that I would have nothing to show for all this free time I had spent many years wishing for.
Ashanty FebPublished 3 years ago in VivaTransformative Trajectory - Possible new horizon for women in the music industry.
There are many societal viewpoints, processes and systemic structures that mean it is not easy for women to own their sovereignty in music. For women to get to this point it is important to ask the question “ What would need to be true, to allow this to be?”
