Great reminder from a recent employee story interview for #PrideMonth2021: Being an ally isn't hard but it requires action. It can be as simple as using your pronouns to disrupt our culture of assumption and make it difficult to hurtfully misgender someone https://t.co/tkb4yqzS1N

Carved out a little time for freewriting on my last day of parental leave. Thankfully, things have progressed since my first #newmom reflection: "Don’t be a hero. Use the pacifier. Take the pain medicine."

Our country is facing unprecedented challenges and to overcome them we need to communicate clearly, honestly, and transparently with the American people. This experienced, talented, and barrier-shattering team will do just that.

While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

Today reminds us that progress might be slow. It might take decades. But no matter what things might look like today, it’s always possible. Happy Pride month, everybody.

So impressed by @pangeaeducation, a non-profit founded by @DePaulU students. They recently released The Unwelcome Stranger, a multicultural children's book designed to help families navigate #COVID19. https://t.co/1hEsJ0v3Cs #ChicagoGoodWorks

Key barriers to women rising: policies (inadequate maternity leave, unaffordable child care); practices (unconscious bias, toxic norms like mansplaining, unfair feedback); and culture (“think leader, think man” syndrome, casual sexism, stigmatized flex work). @RanaNawas #equity
