MB Collective: National Women’s Equality Day

Women gained the right to vote in the US on this day only ninety-six years ago. Considering that our nation’s first election was held in 1788 (over two hundred years ago!), it’s still a pretty big deal for us ladies.

I’d also like to mention that in 1920, when the 19^th Amendment passed, this was mostly for white women. It was a long time before women of color gained equal access to the polls.

But back in 1920 when the amendment finally passed, this marked a huge step toward equality, so the Behaviorists and I wanted to honor that important moment in history by sharing why we believe it’s crucial for women today to get out there and vote.

MB Collective: Celebrating Women’s History Month

As you might have guessed from this post’s title, March is Women’s History Month! Too often the lives of women in history go unsung and unnoticed. However, if we dig deeper, we’ll find incredible women with stories of bravery, innovation, ambition, and heroism.

I thought this month of recognition would be the perfect opportunity for a few special guests and the Behaviorists to share a little bit more about the women in history who’ve inspired us as individuals. From political leaders to pop stars to investigative journalists, the list of women below is as diverse and inspiring as the women who’ve contributed to it.

MB Collective: Our Definition of an Independent Woman

We hope everyone had a safe and fun Fourth of July! Now that the fireworks have died down, we wanted to take a moment to really touch base with each other and with ourselves on what independence looks like for women today. Each woman has her own idea of what it means, so after reading our Behaviorists’ thoughts, we invite you to share your own definition in the comments below!

A Message From My Amazing Niece

Hi everyone! I’m Maria Hunt, and I work with a non-profit called Legacy Counseling Center. This center is filled with passionate individuals who are dedicated to helping those who are HIV positive. Together with the Blues Jean Bar in Snider Plaza, we’re hosting a really great event where all the proceeds will benefit this wonderful organization and their mission to help send HIV positive women to the largest women’s conference in the United States! Here, these women can attend classes ranging from finance to leadership. I would love for you all to come and support this great cause!

See you there!

TEDWomen 2013 Top Ten Inspirations

Yesterday, we attended the TEDWomen 2013 conference. The mantra at the conference was Socrates’ To Be is To Do. Over the next 10 days, starting today, we will feature ten of these prolific people and what they’re doing in the world to leave it better than they found it. Anything is possible when you put your mind and heart into it. In honor of women that build, we are kicking it off with the moving poetry of Sarah Kay: be inspired.
