As women's History Month comes to a close, I'm reminded of the women in our history that have paved the way to my successes and ours as a people. Last year amid the pandemic and Women's History Month celebration, I surveyed my sister colleagues at TGR Foundation to learn of their favorite moments, achievements and words of wisdom.

Looking back at their responses reminded me of how fortunate I am to work with such inspiring women and more importantly the collective strength that we’ve built and can channel from those who guide and inspire us most. Although women's History Month is ending, the achievements of women will live on and will continue to grow throughout 2021 and beyond. Read on to learn about five monumental moments in women’s history and several women and words of wisdom curated by the ladies TGR Foundation.
