For our last episode of Season 2 of #Tilted, we talked to two incredible women from our global @LeanInOrg community. Ifeoma Finnih and @jenshyu are breaking barriers in their respective industries—finance and music—and doing it with gusto. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bon…

The outsize impact of Covid-19 on Asian American women seems to have been largely overlooked in news coverage—and that’s a big problem. Asian American women now have higher long-term unemployment than almost any other group. Learn more here: nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

This week on #Tilted, I’m talking to two incredible women leaders — @ShelArchambeau and Sheryl Sandberg — about their reflections on 2020 and their practical advice for all of us as we continue to navigate big challenges in 2021. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lea…

Grateful to @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris for including a national #COVID19 memorial in their inauguration events. The people who have died deserve nothing less — and we all deserve a chance to pause and take in what the pandemic has done to us and our families.

Dr. King’s legacy lives on in the work of activists everywhere. I’m grateful to everyone who helped make this day a reality, so every year, our country remembers the people who’ve devoted their lives to the struggle for justice—& one man in particular who gave his life for it.

The % of girls who say they’re “confident” drops from 86% to 60% from 5th-9th grade. If you're looking for advice on supporting the girls in your life through these crucial years, start by picking up a copy of Girls Without Limits at amazon.com/Girls-Without-…

It’s been a week. Let’s end it focused on what we should have been celebrating all along—the incredible work of Stacey Abrams and her fellow organizers in Georgia. Stacey led with humility, faced setbacks with grace, and focused on the big picture. She’s a true leader.

What we saw in the U.S. Capitol yesterday was horrifying. But I’m trying hard to find reasons for hope, and stories like this one are helping. Thank you to the Senate aides and to all the unsung heroes who stepped up to protect our democracy. businessinsider.com/senate-aides-r…

Hey ladies, if you're looking for extra support to take on 2021 (who isn't?!), joining forces with the women in your life can help. @LeanInOrg Circles are all about sharing your struggles, victories, and advice with other women who get it. Start yours at leanin.org/circles.

Surprise, surprise – women have always been leaders! This @nytimes piece about recent archeological studies that prove ancient women were hunters, warriors, and rulers made me smile from ear to ear. nytimes.com/2021/01/01/opi…

Covid-19 has thrown America’s childcare crisis into high relief. This week on #Tilted, I’m talking to @FGossGraves of @NWLC and @AngelaRachidi of @AEI about the steps businesses and policymakers need to take to fix our broken system once and for all. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fix…

To suggest that @DrBiden stop using a title she earned is ridiculous. To suggest she replace it with one that centers her husband’s identity is deeply misogynist. I hope this inspires all women to own their accomplishments even more proudly. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

New research from @optionb and @SurveyMonkey shows that 90% of people took steps to support a friend or loved one this year—and 70% say they feel better prepared to handle future challenges after managing the difficulties they faced in 2020. Read more: optionb.org/research

Beautiful words from my @optionb colleague and friend @KaylieEHanson . In a year when many of us are grieving, her story—and her advice—resonates deeply. Kaylie, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing this. kaylieehanson.medium.com/im-a-33-year-o…

Almost half of people expect the holidays to feel harder than usual this year. So today, @OptionB is launching our annual #OptionBThere campaign to help all of us support our loved ones this season. For more info and research-backed tips, visit optionb.org/holidays.

Had so much fun talking to @laurenlapkus and @cameronesposito on #Tilted. These ladies are experts on using humor to challenge stereotypes and highlight issues that matter—and they have great advice for anyone who wants to do the same. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pow…

Can’t wait to hear more of the story behind the @MAKERSwomen film #NOTDONE: Women Remaking America. Tune in on @LeanInOrg's Facebook page at 11:15am PDT tomorrow for a conversation between Sheryl Sandberg and director @wolit11 : facebook.com/leanincommunit…

Congratulations to Kim Ng on shattering this glass ceiling. You’ve paved the way for a new generation of leaders in major league athletics—and I know your success will inspire women and girls in every industry to go after their most ambitious goals.

Feeling grateful this #VeteransDay for my dad and all our veterans, whose example of service, teamwork, and resilience has inspired me through the challenges of 2020. Thank you for keeping us safe and sharing your strength—you are true heroes.
