To celebrate Women’s History Month, I wanted to highlight the exceptional work of four powerfully, tenaciously brilliant women, Letitia Hanke, Jordan Gray, Tareka McClellan, and Aiko Bethea, all of whom are fierce trailblazers shaping their industry.

She has been recognized by Forbes as one of the top seven anti-racism educators for companies and is a senior equity consultant for the Brené Brown Education and Research Group.

Jordan Gray is a professional athlete and American Record Holder for track and field competing in the Women’s Decathlon. Jordan founded The Let Women Decathlon movement whose mission is to advocate for gender equality for women to compete in the Decathlon at the Olympic Games.
