In this episode of TGen Talks, which celebrates Women's History Month (March), we'll explore how women in science have shaped the world around us, and how their stories continue to inspire future generations of young women to become researchers, leaders, and trailblazers who continue to break barriers. Joining the podcast this month is Bethany Davis, Ph.D., an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and a Research Assistant Professor in TGen's Clinical Genomics and Therapeutics Division. Davis specializes in studying the effects of environmental toxins, like heavy metals, and other conditions that affect the kidneys. She's particularly focused on understanding the molecular characteristics behind kidney cancer in Native American communities. Beyond her research, however, Dr. Davis shares her personal journey into science. As a woman in a field traditionally dominated by men, she'll highlight some of the unsung pioneers whose work laid the foundation for modern science, reflect on her personal career path, the challenges she's faced, and her vision for the future of cancer genomics in Native American health. Join us for an inspiring conversation that illuminates the power of women in science and their impact on advancing health and innovation.

In this special episode, we highlight Women's History Month (March 2024) by featuring host Charlie Peacock in conversation with a panel of Nashville's best, up-and-coming women songwriters: Erika Daves (Daves Highway), Jasmine Mullen (The New Respects), and Abby Siler (songwriter, Integrity Music). All three singer-songwriters are committed to loving God and people through music, serving the Christian church, and creating the songs the whole world sings in country, pop, R&B/Soul, indie lo-fi pop, and more. In this lively, insightful episode, we learn how three young singer-songwriters harmonize their faith with their artistry, navigate the music industry's highs and lows, and stay committed to loving God and people—fueling their creativity. They delve into the challenges they've faced as women in a space too often controlled by men while revealing how female role models (including mothers), women in music history, and the power of mentorship keep them safe, sane, and hopeful for ever-expanding opportunities. Amid discussions on music, gender equality and diversity, our guests highlight the transformative shifts they've witnessed and the initiatives and people that spark hope for a bright future.

To celebrate International Women's Day 2023, we reached out to women across professional services marketing and business development to learn about their lived experiences in the industry. We were overwhelmed by the response. Having spoken with more than 50 women about their careers, and how firms can embrace equity to level the playing for everyone in the profession, it was clear there was so much more to discuss and many more groups that are still underrepresented in professional services marketing. As a result, we're excited to launch CMO Series REPRESENTS, a platform for discussion with marketing and BD leaders on key issues relating to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion within the industry.  We begin by celebrating female voices and experiences throughout this Women's History Month (March 2023) and beyond. Join us as we talk with marketing and business development leaders from top law and professional services firms to shine a light on inspirational leaders, and game-changing initiatives, as they share their insights, discuss the challenges, and best practices to support others making their way in the profession.  First up, we speak with Alessandra Almeida Jones, Global Director of Marketing and Communications at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, Alicia Mack, Chief Business Development & Marketing Officer at Nutter McClennen & Fish, Barbara Malin, Chief Business Development and Marketing Officer at Jackson Walker, Beth Huffman, Director of Marketing at Nelson Mullins, Eleanor Smith, Chief Client Officer at Barnes & Thornburg, Lauren Whittemore, Vice President of Global Marketing & Group Digital Strategy at Intertek, Lisa Azzuolo, Chief Marketing Officer at Bennett Jones and Samantha Maher, Marketing Director at Stewarts, to learn about their personal experiences and the strategies and practices their firms are adopting to truly embrace equity and embed it in their culture. The conversation covers the importance of mentorship for professionals at all stages of their careers, the impact that positive role models have on creating an inclusive and supportive workplace and advice for women entering the profession.

In honor of Women's History Month (March 2021), Tracy Wood shares some women that have inspired her personally and professionally. Rosa Parks While Tracy has never met Rosa Parks personally, Parks's strength and courage have inspired Tracy throughout her life. “It takes courage to be a great leader. Sometimes it takes so much courage that you are risking your livelihood,” said Tracy. Parks took action, and Tracy acknowledges that sometimes as a leader, you have to take action, even when it's difficult. Brené Brown Brené Brown's phrase “Clear is kind” serves as an inspiration for Tracy as she makes difficult decisions in a male-dominated industry as a woman of color. She loves this quote because it shows how standing up for what you believe in a clear and kind way can make a difference. Vice President Kamala Harris For the first time ever, our country has a woman serving as Vice President. “It warms my heart that girls of all colors can see a woman having a seat at the table,” said Tracy. She is encouraged because Vice President Harris shows how far we have come as a country. “I look forward to telling my grandchildren that I got to watch our country's first female Vice-President be inaugurated in January 2021,” said Tracy. Tangela Johnson Tangela is an entrepreneur in the Chattanooga area. “She spends a lot of time coaching leaders and strengthening the presence of diversity and equity,” said Tracy. Some of the other women Tracy shared about as her inspiration were Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey, two women of color who have made history in their own spheres of influence. “Women are making a difference,” said Tracy. “Women are advancing in our communities, our country, and it is a great time for dreams to come true. Women moving through history is just another example of going from Grave to Great.”

Reposted from: www.leadonnetwork.com/wordpress This is a Day in Washington #Disability #Policy Podcast. http://dayinwashington.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2-BlackHistoryMonth-Kathy-D-Wright-final.mp3  Audio File: http://dayinwashington.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2-BlackHistoryMonth-Kathy-D-Woods-final.mp3 Although originally posted for Black History Month (February), Kathy D Woods is great for Women's History Month (March) as well! Black #Disability (Making) History: Kathy D. Woods, Designer As models with disabilities like Jillian Mercado, Madeline Stuart, and others start becoming household names, one might ask, where are the designers with disabilities? For a community that prides itself on nothing about us without us there seems to be a lot of models (with and without disabilities) wearing clothing made by nondisabled people. And thus, enters our shero. With an infectious laugh, infinite faith, and a drive like none other, Kathy D. Woods is part of an emerging trend of inclusive fashion advocates who see access to clothing that fits people with disabilities, as a critical element to self-confidence, and ultimately, to their success. Kathy D. Woods is a the owner and operator of a woman's clothing  company showcasing fashions  for women, ages 25-45, who want to invest in quality clothing with impeccable fit, style, and timeless appeal. Unlike every other designer with a Singer in their bedroom and an Etsy page, she brings true sartorial skill to a boutique market in dire need of her talents. KDW provides fashionable, high quality clothing that is expressly designed for adult little people. This former pre-school teacher with a background in special education, and entrepreneur decided to start a clothing venture after decades of struggling to find clothing that fit. If you bought to size, the clothing looked juvenile, if you bought for the age, the typical person with dwarfism swam in the fabric. So Kathy, as many LP women did before her and do today, was resigned to paying twice the price for clothingonce to purchase clothes and once to get them altered to fit her. But she came to want something different. Something for the LP community, by the LP community, where the profits could return to the base and be used to start internships, scholarship programs, programs to subsidize clothing for homeless or abused women with dwarfism to help them get back on their feet. It's obvious the vision for KDW goes beyond fashion, and Ms. Woods finds inspiration in First Lady Michelle Obama her approach to raising expectations and pride among African-American women and girls. (She got to visit the White House, and meet President Barack Obama in 2015 when she was a guest at the 25th Anniversary celebration of the Americans with Disabilities Act.) Kathy is also spearheading her own production company and is actively working to help transform the perceptions of Little People globally, so that when girls with dwarfism turn on the TV, they'll be greeted by positive images of their community, versus negative ones. In an interview with Alyssa Rosenberg in the Washington Post, Kathy D. Woods said €œYou look at this generation of little people. They're attending college, and basically they need to dress the part. My brand will help build confidence and my goal is to provide little people women with the tools to help become successful. You look good, you feel good, Woods argues.

Cathay Williams (September 1844 1892) On 15 November 1866 in St. Louis, Cathay Williams enlisted in the United States Army, 38th Infantry as a man named William Cathay. To date, she is the only documented African-American woman who served in the U.S. Army (until modern time). From the St. Louis Daily Times, January 2, 1876: €œThe regiment I joined wore the Zouave uniform and only two persons, a cousin and a particular friend, members of the regiment, knew that I was a woman. They never €˜blowed' on me. They were partly the cause of my joining the army. Another reason was I wanted to make my own living and not be dependent on relations or friends. Soon after I joined the army, I was taken with the small-pox and was sick at a hospital across the river from St. Louis, but as soon as I got well I joined my company in New Mexico. She seemed an average soldier; she performed garrison duty adequately enough. She drilled and trained with Company A, and went scouting for signs of hostile Native Americans. There was no cause for her to be remarked upon either positively or negatively in any officer reports of record. In January 1868 her health began deteriorating. On the 27th, she was admitted to the post hospital for rheumatism. She released, and then was admitted again on March 20th.  During her military career, she was in four hospitals, on five separate occasions, for varying amounts of time. On July 13, she was admitted into the hospital and diagnosed with neuralgia (a catch-all term for pain caused by a nerve, or parts of the nervous system). Finally, on October 14, 1868 William Cathey was discharged with a certificate of disability. After this, she resumed her identity as Cathay Williams and worked in New Mexico and Colorado as cook, laundress and nurse. In 1890, she was hospitalized in eighteen months though no mention is given of the specific ailment. In June 1891 she filed for an invalid pension based upon her military service. She claimed loss of hearing, neuralgia, and rheumatism. Upon a doctor's examination, pension records show that all her toes on both feet had been amputated, and she could only walk with a crutch. From DeAnne Blanton's CATHAY WILLIAMS, BLACK WOMAN SOLDIER: It is unfortunate that so little is known of Cathay Williams. The information in her pension file together with the scattered references to her in military records is all that exists. The fragmentary references to her physical condition, however, provide some clues as to what may have caused of her various ailments during the course of her adult life. It is entirely possible that Cathay Williams suffered from mild diabetes. The Pension Bureau rejected her claim on the grounds that no disability existed.
