No surprises here. A woman isn’t overlooked for leadership because she lacks skills, but because of unconscious biases, rigid work structures, and outdated perceptions. Yet, she refuses to settle. She pushes harder, speaks louder, and when doors don’t open, she creates her own.

She keeps rising, breaking ceilings, and proving, time and again, that she belongs. Tag such women you know, let’s celebrate their grit and perseverance.
