Women’s Foundation of Minnesota Takes the Mic A collaboration with #SHARETHEMICMN aims to amplify the voices of young women working to overcome opportunity gaps by pairing them with business leaders.
Two local organizations focused on advancing women of color are teaming up to amplify the work, lives, and stories of young BIPOC leaders in Minnesota. Women’s Foundation of Minnesota and #SHARETHEMICMN, an effort launched last summer, have embarked on a three-month collaboration, that places junior leaders at the center of conversations and solutions by pairing them with state change makers to “share the mic” on social media.
The #SHARETHEMICMN program, founded last June by former corporate executive-turned-consultant Jasmine Stringer, aims to amplify the voices and reach of Black women in business and politics by pairing them with white allies for “takeovers” of their social media platforms.
