There are many fantastic ways to celebrate and honor Women's History Month. To help add to the festivities throughout the month of March, I recommend first picking up this month's recommended GoFisch Book Club title and then turning up my latest Spotify playlist.
Featuring a collection of empowering, inspiring songs sung by rockstar women. Feel free to crank up the tunes when you: need a positive boost, want to dance it out, or even when you're brainstorming about how to support gender parity through charitable donations or dedicated nonprofit programs.
Who are your favorite female artists you love to jam out to? I'd love to hear from you on Facebook or Twitter. And if this playlist inspires thoughts about forming a female-focused nonprofit, or building a more representative board, or enhancing programming centered on women's rights or women's history? Don't hesitate to contact me via email or phone (515-371-6077).
There are few speeches that resonate across space and time in the way that Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech has. Delivered on this day in 1963 from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., the iconic speech has inspired the importance of hope and change in America for multiple generations. He challenged America to "rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'" Take a moment to revisit the speech. You can listen to the audio of the speech on The Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute's webpage and I've included the text of the speech below as well below.
