Cindy Gallop’s Wisdom

This list applies to International Women’s Day. It feels like a simple, effective, and universal framework for consciously approaching allyship — specifically because it directly addresses the complacency of using words like “empower” and “celebrate” as destinations versus beginnings.

• Hire
• Promote
• Pay
• Raise
• Bonus
• Fund
• Invest
• Enrich

What a great gift from Cindy! —JM
