Let's just admit it: Being a working mom in America is absolutely exhausting. Today, millions of women in our country are struggling to pay for their children's care while they maintain their spot in the workforce. At the same time, American women are also fighting against the so-called “Motherhood Penalty,” which means that mothers earn just 58 cents for every dollar paid to fathers. Allison Robinson found herself — like many women! — questioning whether or not it was even possible to have both a family and a career. So, she decided to do something about it. She left her job at Procter & Gamble to start “The Mom Project,” which is now the leading digital marketplace for moms offering hiring, education, and retention solutions. Listen in to learn more about her mission to connect moms with jobs that work with their schedules, and how women can stay engaged in the workforce while taking career breaks.

Thomas W. Commeraw was born a slave in the 1700s, but eventually became a Free Black artist and business owner in New York City. Starting in the 1790s, Commeraw opened his own successful pottery business, and became a well-known voice amongst Free Blacks in New York when it came to both local and national politics. A new exhibition at the New York Historical Society, Crafting Freedom: The Life and Legacy of Free Black Potter Thomas W. Commeraw, takes viewers into the life Commeraw led, and also displays over twenty of his preserved works. Curator Allison Robinson alongside artist Sana Musasama, whose pottery is also on view, join us to discuss the exhibition, which is on view until May 28.

As of September 2022, The Mom Project hit a major milestone: their talent community is now home to over 1 million moms, dads, and allies. After having her son Asher in 2015, Allison identified how universally challenging it can be for American mothers to juggle the demands of motherhood with a full-time career and decided to tackle the issue on a national scale. Prior to founding The Mom Project, Allison spent 7 years at Procter and Gamble working on go-to-market strategies for leading household brands with a special focus on moms during her tenure on the Pampers brand.Website: The Mom ProjectLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/allison-m-robinson/Twitter: @mrsrobinson_aEmail: allison.robinson@themomproject.comShow Notes: How The Mom Project is connecting talented women with world-class employers as a marketplace matchmaker and their growth plans for the future Allison's journey from joining Procter & Gamble at the age of 19 to founding The Mom Project The customer discovery process and steps Allison took to build an MVP Deciding to partner with an agency to build their product Leveraging their mission to pitch and onboard companies for The Mom Project's marketplace From bootstrapping to VC fundraising What has fueled The Mom Project's growth Their three-pronged go-to-market strategy and scaling by minimizing friction Developing their business model What moms want from work The pandemic's impact on working moms and how it further validated The Mom Project's mission Acquiring Werk and Glassbreaker and how they approached integration Launching their 501c3 Rise to elevate women of color The platform's user experience for moms How they've solved the supply-demand matching challenge by strategically engaging moms beyond job placement Building out The Mom Project's team How Allison's role as CEO and founder has evolved since the early days Allison's view on the Future of Work, particularly for moms How she views the potential of the creator economy How Allison stays inspired More about the show:The Vitalize Podcast, a show by Vitalize Venture Capital (a seed-stage venture capital firm and pre-seed 400+ member angel community open to everyone), dives deep into the world of startup investing and the future of work.Hosted by Justin Gordon, the Director of Marketing at Vitalize Venture Capital, The Vitalize Podcast includes two main series.

This is one of the most important Digital Meetups that we've hosted to date! Today Jess and Jason have the opportunity to speak with two incredible guests about two major causes that need immediate action and understanding. We will start by welcoming Kateryna Kovalevska, Chair of the Ukrainian Association of HR Professionals, to our live broadcast. She has fled her country for safety, and will join us to share stories about what is currently happening in Ukraine, and how we as an HR and HR Tech community can help. “There is no time for doubt...Ukraine needs your help now,” she told us. Here's a few ways: 1. Show your support for Ukraine by attending protests in your cities. 2. Press your governments to cancel flights to Russia, to freeze all Russian assets abroad and stop diplomatic and economic affairs. 3. Ask your government to deliver humanitarian aid, financial and military support to Ukraine. Silence is complicity. 4. Sign this petition to close airspace over Ukraine and protect them from bombing: https://lnkd.in/gAFKiF4x Kateryna's visit will be followed by Allison Robinson, the founder of The Mom Project, an amazing organization committed to helping women remain active in the workforce at every stage of their journey. 5.4 million women have lost jobs in the pandemic. 2 in 5 of those might never return because often work doesn't WORK for women - especially moms with added challenges and barriers. What now? How do we get moms back into the workforce on their terms? The Mom Project is leading the pack when it comes to disrupting the modern workplace so that women don't have to choose between family and career. We'll dive into the work and vision of The Mom Project, their new research, and their RISE program. PLUS, they are hiring HR pros! From restoring the dignity and equity of work to working moms to reaching out across the globe, we are reminded every Friday that HR includes HUMAN. Never to be missed, but especially TODAY. We hope to see you soon!

During the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration funded an interracial labor program in Wisconsin that employed over five thousand women to craft handmade goods: the Milwaukee Handicraft Project. Especially noteworthy among the rugs, quilts, costumes, and books that the women produced is a run of exquisitely crafted and clothed toddler-sized dolls. Host Benjamin Miller learns from scholar Allison Robinson about how these dolls—made to represent different ethnic groups both foreign and domestic—provide insight into New Deal–era debates over women's labor, race, and cultural nationalism . . . and into the origins of Barbie and American Girl.
