Fifty Three. / The International Women's Day 2023 Edition.

Hey, everybody. 

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m incredibly lucky to have been raised by a force of a woman, be married to a literal superwoman, and get to work alongside some female powerhouses. I absolutely love learning from them every single day, and in honor of today, I’ve decided to link to all of the incredible women who leant their pens and stories to Le Cinq.

Some of them have different titles, jobs, and lives these days, but their stories they told and continue to tell remain the same and need to be shared.

Here we go.


  • Jennifer Edwards, Better Consulting.

  • Thirty Seven: Zi Xie, Dailyhuman

  • Anjni Singh, Kali Active

  • Allison Schneider, E*TRADE

  • Elizabeth Semmelhack, Bata Shoe Museum

  • Julia Blanter, Fulton Fish Market

  • Meera Clark, Obvious Ventures

  • Alana Mann, Ver

  • Nitasha Mehta, Boxed

  • Nancy Schnoll, Reflekt

  • Polina Marinova, The Profile

  • Mallory Blair, Small Girls PR

  • Sydney Sherman, The Etho

  • Kaleigh Moore, eCommerce & SaaS Writer

  • Isabelle Levent, Built By Girls WAVE


Also, while it’s obviously a day to celebrate women around us making real differences, I do want to add this important data from Amanda Goetz, as we still have a LOT of work to do:

If you think #IWD2023 is silly bc “it’s 2023 and women have it good” Let’s review the numbers ⏺️ Women earn .82 to the male $1 ⏺️ 42% of US women will be sexually assaulted ⏺️ < 2% of VC dollars fund women ⏺️ 75% of women who pay for childcare say it’s more than they make

So what can we do about it? ⏺️ salary transparency ⏺️ speak out and against violence - even micro aggressions and objectification ⏺️ fund more women ⏺️ support law makers who are pushing for affordable childcare ⏺️ start at home - ask the women in your life what they need

It’s not enough to celebrate women. We have to protect and champion and continue pushing for change.

Let’s keep working and shining a light on those who deserve it.
