#womencrushwednesday. @stepupwomensnetwork is going to do just that today and tomorrow during its annual LA fundraiser! Join me in celebrating by donating or buying a ticket today (link in bio). Step Up works to close the opportunity gap! ... 97% of Step Up teens graduate high school on time and 85% report feeling more prepared for the working world. They do this via a unique mentorship model ... and with support like yours their chapters will continue to grow. I know I wanted a Step Up when I was a girl. I have been thankful to work with Step Up since 2007 to help them grow their messaging and support the mentorship of more girls nationwide. Pictured are 1.
