As Hispanic Heritage Month begins, we honor the power of claiming our stories and celebrating the roots that sustain us 🌿✨

On the 25th anniversary of September 11, we pause to remember the lives lost, their loved ones, and the first responders who answered with extraordinary courage and compassion. May we honor their memory by carrying forward that spirit of care for one another.

Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City on Wednesday. She was 92, vibrant, brilliant, and devoted to equality until the last days of her life. More than anything, Gloria was and will always be, a bright light of wisdom, justice, and kindness illuminating a path forward for all people.

We at Omega had the privilege of welcoming her to speak at conferences and to advise the founding and ongoing work of our Women’s Leadership Center. She brought to our campus what she brought everywhere—an ability to listen deeply to others even as she led with vision and courage. She made a huge difference in our country and our world—and yet she did so with a warm and welcoming heart. Her legacy is to inspire us to do the same in our own work and communities.

Her loved ones posted this: “Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain. Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.”

"You can't be what you can't see." ✨
When we witness extraordinary leaders standing firm in their truth, it gives us permission to trust our own voice, own our lived experiences, and lead with unshakeable confidence.

Author Robyn Moreno experienced this firsthand, sitting down with civil rights icon Dolores Huerta at Omega in 2019. Now, she's helping you step into that same authority.

Today is Black Women Equal Pay Day.
