Today is International Women’s Day! This year the theme is #BeBoldForChange encouraging both men and women to take daring actions to improve gender equality. Whether this be diminishing gender bias, promoting equality, reducing the pay gap and advancing women in all areas; politically, socially or economically.
Here at TH?NK we like to see ourselves as cowgirls, we are fearless in what we do and the goals we set ourselves. We act boldly and are committed to going the extra mile to succeed.
