Hi everyone today I received the privilege of meeting and talking to Mayor Theresa Rich, the Mayor of Farmington Hills, and attending an inspiring event where she talked about women empowerment and the future of Farmington Hills. I was so inspired by her speech, she discussed the importance of women helping other women and lifting each other. Not too long ago society was a place where women often felt the need to put each other down rather than celebrating each other's successes. Instead of women supporting each other, they envied each other. While the world is changing Mayor Rich emphasized how important it is that we bring other women up and create a space where all of their voices are heard. Earlier I got the amazing opportunity to spend 20 minutes discussing what being mayor is like and what plans are in store for the city with Mayor Rich. The city of Farmington Hills is progressing and starting to bring in new infrastructure to glamorize and bring life back to the city....
Women often face many barriers for important opportunities globally. I intend to spread awareness of the discrimination they face, and explore possible policy solutions to bridge these gaps.
