Know a female difference-maker in the Upstate? It's your last chance to nominate them for our annual GSA Business Report Women of Influence recognition. Details below!

As women of color, sharing our achievements is pivotal. It's not about bragging; it's stating the facts, the receipts of what you've done. And here's why: ➡ Your achievements show EVERYONE what is possible! ➡ You bring diverse perspectives. Sharing your achievements represents the community and becomes an inspiration. ➡ Seize the Moment. If you don't share your successes, who will? Write your own success story; don't leave it to someone else. I once hesitated to create a simple one-page slide showcasing my accomplishments, fearing I'd come across as too self-promotional. But then I realized something crucial: while I was worrying about being humble, someone else was out there confidently presenting a full deck of their achievements. And guess what? Not an eye was batted. So BE BOLD. Don't wait for someone else to recognize your gifts; create your platform and find a path to be seen. #WomenInLeadership #RepresentationMatters #WomenSupportingWomen
