The first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Skłodowska Curie developed the term radioactivity, discovered the chemical elements polonium and radium and contributed to develop new cancer treatments. For her scientific dedication and remarkable breakthroughs, she was awarded the 1903 physics prize and the 1911 chemistry prize. Learn more: bit.ly/4qGyRS1 #InternationalWomensDay

International Women’s Day wasn’t created to celebrate women. It didn’t start with flowers or hashtags It was created because women were dying and they started getting angry In the early 1900s, thousands of women worked in factories across New York City. They worked 14–16 hour shifts, earned a fraction of men’s wages, and had almost no legal protection. In 1908, around 15,000 women marched through the city demanding better pay, shorter hours, and the right to vote. Many people dismissed them as hysterical and rebellious. But they didn’t stop. In 1910, German activist Clara Zetkin stood before a conference in Copenhagen and proposed something radical: A global day where women would rise together and demand equality. Then a disaster changed everything. In 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City killed 146 garment workers. Most of them were young immigrant women. The factory owners had locked the doors to stop workers from taking breaks. When the fire started, many couldn’t escape. Some workers jumped from the building as crowds watched below. The tragedy shocked the world and intensified the fight for women’s rights and safer working conditions. Decades later, the United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day on March 8th 1975. So when people say “Happy International Women’s Day,” remember: This day didn’t start with celebration. It started with protest, anger, and women refusing to accept the way the world treated them.

History is being made on the ice. 🏒✨ As the Winter Olympic Games officially kick off with today’s Opening Ceremonies, it feels especially meaningful to pause and recognize an extraordinary milestone. On February 5, Laila Edwards made her Olympic debut, becoming the first Black female American ice hockey player to compete in the Winter Games. What an incredible achievement—not just for Laila, but for the sport of hockey and for every young athlete who now sees new possibilities reflected back at them. Representation matters, and moments like this remind us how powerful progress can be. On a deeply inspiring note, heartfelt thanks to Jason and Travis Kelce for their active generosity in creating a GoFundMe to help Laila Edwards’ family be present and support her during the 2026 Olympic Games. How awesome that they chose to use their broad platform to make a positive difference in the lives of the Edward’s family. That kind of community, thoughtfulness, and belief in an athlete’s journey is truly special. During #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate trailblazers who redefine what’s possible—and the people who show up to lift them higher. Congratulations, Laila. We’re cheering you on. 🇺🇸❄️ #BlackHistoryMonth #Olympics #WinterOlympics #RepresentationMatters #WomenInSports #ActiveGenerosity #Trailblazer
