Since last year's International Women's Day, many things have changed for women in the United States and around the world. In American politics, the House of Representatives currently has its highest-ever percentage of women—119 of the 435 total seats. Kamala Harris made history as the first female African American and South Asian Vice President of the United States. In STEM, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, a Research Fellow at the National Institute of Health, has contributed greatly to solving the COVID-19 pandemic with her exceptional work on Moderna's vaccine. While these major achievements result in widespread empowerment, there is also the invaluable impact that women in our day-to-day lives have. Join us in celebrating the women that have made a personal impact on the lives of our team at Sociedad Latina.
