This Pride Month, we’re proud to highlight women leaders in the LGBTQ+ community who expanded leadership across sport, science, media, and literature. 💫

Billie Jean King brought advocacy into the world of sport.
Sally Ride opened doors in science and space for generations of girls who followed.
Janet Mock uses storytelling to center truth, visibility, and lived experience.
Audre Lorde wrote with clarity and courage, naming what others tried to ignore.

From them, we learn to push boundaries, challenge expectations, and do what we can to make it easier for the next woman to step forward. 💪

The You Were Never Meant to Shrink series kicked off with a reflection many women know well: we’re not lacking skill, we’re navigating expectations we didn’t choose for ourselves.

Led by Brandee Collins, Director of Prevention at MOCSA, the session explored how early messaging around being agreeable can carry into professional spaces, impacting our visibility and advancement.

Inspired by the song “Lady Lady" by Olivia Dean, we reflected on when we first learned to soften our voices and where we might be prioritizing being liked over being heard.

Thank you to everyone who joined part one and made space for such thoughtful conversation! Sign up for part two on 4/29 at centralexchange.org.
