The theme for this year’s international women’s day is inspire and inclusion. At PEGS we are so privileged to know and work alongside some incredible women who are doing equally incredible things. To celebrate our connections, their work and who inspire us, we wanted to dedicate this blog to them. A message from PEGS Found Director “Thank you for being the woman you are, for using your voice to help those in need, for being part of the change women need. Thank you for inspiring me, for including me in your world, for helping me grow and to be a better leader and women. I am privileged and thankful to know you, to work alongside you and I will always be one of your biggest cheerleaders “
