Badassery 101
Women view the world through a uniquely feminine lens. The roles we play are often customary and inevitable. Centuries-old barriers continue to squelch our strength, ability, and potential. When we veer from the expected path, criticism can be harsh.
If you want greater success, you can’t keep thinking, saying, and doing the same things.
By thinking differently, you will act differently. You will act with Badassery … and you will create different results.

Bridging the Divide
In Arizona’s vibrant landscape, a persistent challenge that demands our attention and advocacy is the gender pay gap. As we strive for equity and inclusivity, it is imperative to address this issue head-on and work towards creating a fair and just society for all, but more specifically for those who have been marginalized for centuries past. Additionally, we must consider the impact of disclosing salary history and its role in perpetuating existing inequities. The Women’s Foundation for the State of Arizona (WFSA) urges everyone to join us in advocating for change and making our voices heard.
