As I was working on this edition of FEM, the world held its breath (or at least the uterus-carrying half of the world) to find out if the US would return to the 1940s or not... Unfortunately, the Supreme Court’s rejection of Roe v Wade shows us not only that time travel IS possible, but it also shows us there is still so much work to do! Equality is not something we can take for granted and we have to actively pursue it!
Now is not the time to let the system divide and conquer! We are all feeling the effects of whatever our intersectional identity is, and banding together is the only way we can affect real change. It’s by lifting others we rise, and all that!
It feels fortuitous that this edition of FEM has been dedicated to allyship. We talk about the importance of equality and how we as solo entrepreneurs and small business owners can create safe spaces for all to feel we belong.
