During this installment of This Month in Women's History, we talk about Rosie the Riveter. Rosie the Riveter is a cultural icon of World War II, representing the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, many of whom produced munitions and war supplies. These women sometimes took entirely new jobs replacing the male workers who joined the military. Rosie the Riveter is used as a symbol of American feminism and women's economic power.

It’s May and we certainly couldn’t let the month pass without a podcast about Mother’s Day! Keely, Alicia and Terra got together to talk about the history of Mother’s Day and how they celebrate it, both with their children and their own mothers. But the conversation quickly turned to what it’s like to be a working parent and the things nobody told us about motherhood, including what maternity leave in the United States is actually like. Whether you’re a mom gearing up for your special day or you’re in your pre-family working years, there’s a little something for everyone in this episode. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!

In this episode of “A Little Louder Now”, a podcast produced by The Bridge Initiative, an Fi360 project, Alicia and Terra interview Lisa Brignoni, a wealth management operations and technology leader.

Lisa is currently the Women in Investment Management and Programs Chair for the CFA Society in Pittsburgh. Terra had the pleasure of working with Lisa in a previous role, which is where they met, and she is always struck by how intricate Lisa’s examination is of any experience. Lisa has a razor-sharp mind for analysis, as exhibited in her roles as a portfolio analyst, but whenever she was tapped for a creative project, she brings exceptionally fresh ideas to the table. There was so much to talk about, and the group did not get to it all so stay tuned… we may have more coming from Lisa in the near future.
