Celebrations in our community this week 🎉

🌱 Thamina has released a free ebook on investing: this book is a powerful call to action for women, and is specifically tailored to the unique needs and challenges that women face. You'll learn about the many interesting facts and statistics that highlight the unique relationship that women have with money and why it is particularly important for women to invest.

🌱Kenza released the very first episode on her new podcast: Comms For Good: in the first episode, her guest (someone we kind of know here on The Bloom team😉) touches on aligning your personal and professional purpose, the challenges of remaining relevant in a quickly evolving online landscape, and avoiding the pitfalls of performativity.

Celebration is an act of community joy 💜Send your research, articles, projects, or updates to feature in the newsletter next week: team@readtobloom.com!
