Menopause is Not What We're Marketed

Raslyn Wooten has been on the receiving end of some of the most horrifying workplace discrimination experiences you'll ever hear...and being in PR, her work publicly spoke for itself. She fought a discrimination case in federal court and won over a million dollars because of her ability to document and organize her case. Through her own court case, she began what started as a blog, writing about her experience with workplace discrimination that then became a career lifestyle magazine for black women called Notable. She interviews women 4 times every year to hear their story of discrimination because reporters and journalists had been claiming that they couldn't find any black women to talk about it. Through this work, she further created JobMinder365, an app that is a journal for you to document all details about your job - the good, the bad, and the ugly - along with your employee handbook so that you have everything in one place when you're ready to pursue action. Check out Notable and follow along on Instagram, download JobMinder365 on IOS and Android and follow along for key updates on Instagram. Lastly find Raslyn, Notable, and JobMinder365 on LinkedIn.

Carolyn Lewis spent much of her early professional years out on the open waters in maritime and anti-piracy operations. This is where she was met abruptly with the lack of knowledge around women's health, as she was the first one to have her period on a ship! There were no provisions, so she set out on her own to educate and support male dominated industries to support women appropriately as it relates to perimenopause and menopause. We cover a range of topics including a breakdown of the 30+ symptoms of perimenopause, the stages of the process - again on average, because it will impact each unique individual differently. Carolyn's main goal? To meet each and every person uniquely where they are, no matter where in the awareness, acknowledgement, or understanding - she has room for you, without judgement.Find Carolyn on LinkedIn and visit her website for more information - she's always open to a conversation.

Meet Lisa Boate, a lifelong, formal educator turned Menopause Coach and Community Leader. Lisa is taking it back to basics, to ensure that every walk of life feels comfortable welcoming in this important renewal in a woman's life. In this space and time where we are on a fast paced autopilot, menopause can be viewed as a burden, but it's actually an invitation to turn back inward and listen to our bodies. Lisa stepped away from the copy/paste, patriarchal world of education to gear all of her energy toward the "Liberated Menopause" - to assist organizations learn how to communicate their "thing" - especially for those beginning to experience perimenopause and menopause in the workplace. Without this type of support, we lose women at a rapid pace, and with that, an unlimited treasure of wisdom not only in the workplace, but in the world.

Cierra Gross, CEO of Caged Bird HR and Worklution has created a revolutionizing 1:1 experience now turned national (eventually global) app to not only reinstate personal power, but also to reinvent the way work...works. Wrk Receipts is the new app that allows you to record your work experience (adversity, accomplishments, and time off) with one goal in mind - to help people, especially those that have experienced traumatic work environments. Being a survivor herself, Cierra is taking the most daunting (and triggering) task (documentation) of discrimination and work trauma off of the individual's shoulders with Wrk Receipts and the world's first AI employee advocate, Jayla. Jayla collates all of your documentation for you, and cross references it by state and federal laws to directly advise you on violations - and, also, can draft correspondence on your behalf. What holds this all together? Trust. Ethical use of data and AI. Cierra and Worklution is showing how to use AI in a responsible manner, that there should be rules and policy around how to use this - especially now that we've seen the discrimination and unethical use of AI so far.

More women have non traditional jobs these days, and still don't have adequate clothing to wear - the men's styles are simply copied and pasted into women's "styles", which can lead to harm in the workplace as they don't fit correctly.Brenda (Maxx) Cumby McGee has come up with the solution. As a construction worker and fashion model, she has paired her unique expertise and skills to create one of the very few styles of work pants designed specifically for women. Just a few features include deeper pockets, D-rings on the band, reinforced inner thighs, and kneepads. Maxx and her best friend created Gott Street Blues with one goal in mind - to design working clothes for working women. She's starting with the pant, and then from there, the sky isn't even the limit. Not in construction? No worries, these are also perfect for landscaping, gardening, etc. Find GSB pants at https://gottstreetblues.com, connect with Maxx on LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.
