Within Orion3, there is a powerhouse group of women from different industries, backgrounds, countries, religions, ethnicities and each carrying a story of resilience.
Four years ago, when Orion3 started, I never imagined having a group like this. Now, more than half of Orion3’s members are women.
I couldn’t fit them all in this post, but you can see them on the Orion3 website.
As we celebrate Women’s History Month, I want to honor not just success, but the battles they fought, the sacrifices they made, and the strength it takes to keep going when life throws everything at them.
Some of these women left their home countries and families, stepping into the unknown, carrying the weight of their dreams, and their parents’ sacrifices on their backs.
Some fought through life-threatening illnesses or sat beside loved ones, watching them suffer, powerless to stop it.
Some lost people they loved, financial security, and stability, but refused to break. They rebuilt from the ground up.
And then there’s the pain people don’t talk about enough. The pain of bringing a child into this world safely. Even when everything goes right, delivering a child is one of the hardest, most dangerous things a human body can endure. Some of these women have carried life inside them, fought through unimaginable physical and emotional pain, yet still showed up, still chased their ambitions, still led. ONLY a woman can understand that level of strength.
Betting on yourself is scary as f*ck. But I’ve watched women in Orion3 walk away from secure and successful corporate careers to build something of their own, and do it with grit, courage, and brilliance.
In fact, the catalyst for me leaving my secure job to go all in on Orion3 was one of these women: Amanda Lannert
To have such a diverse, unstoppable group of Women (from SIX continents!) in Orion3 tells me the universe is pushing me to keep building.
But the best part is that I get to see these women lift each other up through the hardest moments, both personal and professional.
Ladies - Thank YOU for being you. For inspiring me. For proving that strength, resilience, and leadership are more than just words. They’re lived, fought for, and earned through actions!
(sorry I couldn't fit everyone in this post. I promise that next week's celebration will make up for it! )
