What Smart Girls Do

What Smart Girls Do What Smart Girls Do aims to put a spotlight on successful women around the globe, creating a network of role models to inspire and motivate us all!

What Smart Girls Do was born from interactions with countless uber successful female colleagues and friends. It got me thinking. What if we could encapsulate what we have learned and offer it to other women to help grease the skids for their collective future success? Imagine more women business leaders, more women in government, and more women helping women become independent and successful - creating a better world indeed!

Smart Girl Bianca Reed takes on bias against working Mom's in the ad industry. And how COVID 19 has brought this struggle front and center.

"We often forget that many of our clients are juggling their kids, too, and that you can become kindred spirits in the battle to get it all done. To continue to progress past the bias against working mothers, we need each other. Simply put, empowered women empower women. We need a community of women that can relate to and support each other and will not allow the return to work to limit the progress we have made during this crisis."

Multitasking selves to the forefront.
