Words to Lead By: Amplifying Women's Voices Across Public Health
Women are vastly underrepresented in public health leadership. This multi-media storytelling campaign increases visibility and understanding of women leaders, generating new models for effective leadership.
Women drive health, policy, and community well-being across the United States. Constituting ~70% of the public health workforce, women hold only 25-38% of leadership roles and are persistently underrecognized. This multi-modal, multi-media national storytelling campaign amplifies positive and varied portrayals of 100 women across public health. Leveraging public platforms, this project elevates stories of their complex roles, lives, self-care practices, and strategies for leading critical health initiatives; insights to generate new models for effective leadership.
