Celebrating Women’s History Month: Lifting Each Other Up
Did you know Congress officially designated March as Women’s History Month* as recently as 1987? When I first learned this, I had two reactions: It took that long? And it took even longer for it to become a traditional annual celebration. But in my opinion, this month is more than just a recognition – it is a movement.
For me, the most meaningful part of Women’s History Month is celebrating other women. The idea that only a few of us will break the glass ceiling is fading away. And today more than ever, the more that we lift each other up, the more opportunities we create – not just for ourselves, but for future generations.
In my work with other women leaders, I have seen how self-doubt can at times hold us back. In industry performance feedback, high performing women often rate themselves lower than their managers, peers, or direct reports do. Our inner critic can often make it hard to advocate for our own development; however, when we see the art of the possible, we unlock new possibilities.
I would encourage all women to continue seeking opportunities for development, ask questions, and remain open to challenges. Let this be a time to invest in yourself, set bold goals, and support those around you. When we lift each other up, we all rise!

Celebrating Black History Month with our team
In honor of Black History Month this February, Nicole Martin Hill, VP, Product & Sales Risk Advisory, reflects on what this observance means to her. “Black History Month is such an exciting time to celebrate and recognize the amazing achievements of African Americans and their contributions to our society. It is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the strength and resilience of the Black community and learn about the incredible innovators who have shaped our history. I love sharing this journey with my two daughters, teaching them about remarkable African Americans and discovering historical sites around the world all year long.”
When asked how she spends this time, Nicole shared, “One of my favorite traditions during this month is curling up with a good book and finding a quote to share. This year, I am inspired by Mae Jemison, the first African American female astronaut, who said, ‘I like to think of ideas as potential energy. They’re really wonderful, but nothing will happen until we risk putting them into action.’ This message is so powerful during Black History Month—it reminds us to tackle those obstacles and go after our dreams, both personally and professionally!”
