Hear From Our Community
I walked into my first WomEconomics workshop unsure of my worth. Eighteen months later I negotiated a promotion and a 40% raise — and I did it without apologizing once. This community rewrote the way I show up at work.
Amara Okonkwo
After a career break I thought the door back into leadership had closed. The re-entry cohort proved me wrong. I'm now running a team of twelve and mentoring two women from my own class.
