COLLABORATIVE PERSPECTIVES
This year’s
theme is Conversations From The Heart
In honor of Heart Health Awareness Month, The Red Dress Experience has curated professional development workshops, and coaching sessions for empowering female leaders and having heart-toheart conversations addressing the unique challenges specific to black women in business, corporate, non-profit, education, government, and faith-based community entities These conversations with leaders will help them reduce stress, promote having a healthy heart, and prepare them for professional growth
Our Purpose:
According to the article Lean In On: Where companies should focus to improve diversity, "Gains since 2019 have been much greater in the C-suite than at lower levels, and they have benefited white women more than women of color To drive sustainable progress for all women, companies need to take action to address two systemic weak points in the corporate pipeline: the “broken rung” in promotions at the first step up to manager, which leaves women dramatically underrepresented in mid-level management, and the sharp drops in the representation of women of color at every level of advancement These gaps largely explain why we see so few women and almost no women of color in senior leadership "
