Empowering Women, Transforming Futures: The #HireHer Campaign
Here’s a message from our Founder and CEO, Dr. Topeka K. Sam, announcing the #HireHer Campaign. This initiative celebrates 100 extraordinary women who have completed our Pathways for Equity Fellowship Program. Each of these women has faced significant challenges but has demonstrated remarkable resilience, determination, and a commitment to personal and professional growth.
Through this campaign, we’re showcasing their skills, expertise, and readiness to thrive in the workforce. We invite employers to take action by offering these women the second chances they’ve earned, transforming lives, and fostering a future where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Together, we can turn the promise of second chances into real, lasting change.
What is the #HireHer Campaign?
The #HireHer campaign is dedicated to empowering justice-impacted women by encouraging employers to consider them for employment. Through our initiatives, we aim to break down barriers and promote second-chance hiring, demonstrating that every woman deserves the opportunity to succeed.
