Pride began as a protest—an act of resistance during the Stonewall uprising. Today, Pride remains both a celebration & a protest. It serves as a reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

WISE Planet stands with caregivers who balance personal & professional lives in STEM. When talented leaders face systemic barriers, we all lose. Let’s build inclusive workplaces by supporting those who choose to care, lead, and innovate.
