March is Women’s History Month and I’m noticing a pattern that’s leaving me feeling unsettled... Why is it that when companies highlight causes that support women, does the focus shift to women as victims, women in crisis, and women in need of rescue? Organizations doing that work are absolutely essential. Supporting women escaping violence or instability is critical and lifesaving, but why do we so often seek to frame women through a lens of vulnerability? The causes we choose to elevate send a message about how we see women. Too often, society defines women through a narrow set of roles: caregiver, mother, victim, survivor. Important experiences, but only a fraction of the full picture. When we zoom out, the story of women in our communities is far broader. Women's History Month is about celebrating women as leaders, builders, entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, mentors, innovators, and changemakers. It’s about recognizing women’s power, potential, and impact - not just the hardships they navigate. If the only stories we highlight about women are the ones where they are in crisis, we’re unintentionally telling a very narrow story about who women are. Women's History Month feels like a good time to widen that lens. This month, let's take a moment to ask ourselves and our companies - are we only responding to women’s hardship, or are we also investing in women’s leadership, opportunity, and power? #leadership #womenshistorymonth #empoweringwomen #womenintheworkplace #investinwomen

As part of our focus on workforce development, we’re announcing that @Bank of America invested nearly $40 million in 2025 into U.S. workforce skills, job training and career pathways. Since February is Career and Technical Education Month, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on our commitment to prepare and equip American workers with the skills they need to forge a strong economic future. Last year alone, we worked with more than 100 colleges and over 600 nonprofit partners across all of our U.S. markets, investing into local job skills programs that support employers who need skilled workers and the next generation of talent. Workforce development partners estimate that collectively, these investments contributed to approximately 86,400 workers getting connected to livable‑wage jobs and provided 265,000 people nationwide with access to training, education and career readiness programs designed to position them for long‑term career success. This progress is significant – and just the start. We remain focused on building career pathways that drive financial prosperity, economic growth and a stronger workforce for the future.              https://lnkd.in/eGh-8chV
