Bring on the changing leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, but can we please get some more ❤️ for the career & 💸 milestones that people spend 40 hours a week for years at a time working to achieve? 💁🏻♀️

A reminder from @femislay that the only milestones that really matter are the ones that really matter to you 🙌🏼

Our love letter to ambitious women past, present and future starts with SUSAN.⠀ ⠀ We celebrate the ambitious Susan's of past, present and future including American civil rights leader Susan B Anthony who advocated on behalf of many reforms - most notably suffrage, abolition and labor reform.⠀ ⠀ According to the National Susan B Anthony Museum website (@susanbhouse ), 'Susan B. Anthony quickly recognized that the best way to protect women and children was not by trying to change men, but by giving women political power, and thus the vote.'⠀ ⠀ In celebration of Susan, and the contributions of all ambitious women, we're celebrating the launch of our newest @statementcards with a fundraising campaign benefiting @sheshouldrun, a nonpartisan nonprofit working to dramatically increase the number of women considering a run for public office. ⠀⠀ From the She Should Run website… ‘Women are underrepresented at all levels in the 500,000+ elected offices across the U.S. That is why She Should Run is driven by a vision of seeing 250,000 women run for local, state, and federal offices by 2030.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ When more women run, more women lead. And as more and more women from the She Should Run Community become elected officials at all levels of office, they become role models to girls and young women, normalize women’s leadership, and amplify the need for gender parity in office. By encouraging more women to run, we are building a more effective and representative government that can meet the challenges of the 21st century.’⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ To help support this mission (and our @statementcards mission of championing women’s ambition) 20% of our new ambition card retail sales through Election Day 2020 will be donated to She Should Run.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ PLUS if you order 6 cards or more, you can get an extra 20% off your order using promo code BOXSET at checkout ⠀ ⠀⠀ We are beyond excited to share this celebration of women’s ambition, and hope you’ll join us in sharing it 🎉⠀ ⠀⠀ Preorder now at statementcards.com (link in bio @statementcards 👈🏼)⠀ ⠀ ⠀

We've said it before and we'll say it again - A WOMAN'S WORTH DOES NOT DEPEND ON HER MARITAL STATUS! ⠀ Thank you @afrosypaella for sharing this message (swipe through to see the rest).⠀ ⠀ This is exactly why @statementcards we're dedicated to celebrating milestones beyond marriage and motherhood. We believe in recognizing women, not only for their value in relation to others, but also, for their OWN achievements and successes. ⠀ ⠀ Because new business ventures, career accomplishments and personal milestones are as worthy of celebration as pregnancies and engagements. ⠀ P.S. We saw that @afrosypaella recently announced a book deal w/ @simonandschuster @adams_media 📚 Talk about a milestone worth celebrating 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ⠀ ⠀

Did you know the idea for Statement Cards - greetings for celebrating ambitions beyond marriage and motherhood - actually hit me in the middle of planning my own wedding?⠀ ⠀ Hey all 👋🏼 Stefanie, founder of @statementcards here. I was 32-years-old when I got engaged and had never experienced anything like the outreach, support and celebration that I felt during my year of wedding planning. Family, friends, strangers even - asking what I needed, how they could help, offering tips and resources, etc. ⠀ ⠀ It was overwhelming in all the right ways. But I couldn't help but thinking how much more I could have used that support, encouragement and celebration during the more challenging moments of my life – when trying to get my own business off the ground for example.⠀ ⠀ Obviously my wedding was a major personal milestone and certainly something worth celebrating, but thinking about how it was such a struggle to get people to buy my first book back when it was published when they were happy to send $50 salt and pepper shakers I didn’t really need for my wedding struck me as strange. And it got me thinking that there should be a way to celebrate and support career and money milestones in the same way we celebrate and support more traditional milestones.⠀ ⠀ That’s not to say I think we should send expensive gifts or write people checks every time they get a promotion or pay off a credit card, but I do think something as simple as a greeting card can be a powerful way to acknowledge a milestone – like paying off a student loan or moving out on your own – that can take people years of hard work to accomplish.⠀ ⠀ So that's what Statement Cards is really about. In a world filled with cards and rituals designed to celebrate bridal showers, wedding days, anniversaries, baby showers and Mother's Days - we hope to EXPAND the milestones we celebrate.⠀ ⠀ Because we believe financial accomplishments, career milestones and other ambitions are as worthy of celebration as pregnancies and engagements 🙌🏼 ⠀ ⠀

“History isn’t what happened. It’s who tells the story.”⠀ — Sally Roesch Wagner⠀ ⠀ Women have always been ~50% of the population, but only occupy around 0.5% of recorded history, as shown in this graphic from @thelilynews ⠀ ⠀ 'A report by the National Women's History Museum says that the status and experiences of women are 'not well integrated into US state history standards,' and criticizes an overemphasis on women's domestic roles and the exclusion of women's roles in leadership.' ⠀ ⠀ Our latest @statementcards is a showcase of just a few of the many, many women who've shaped our history, and a love letter to all the women who share their ambition present and future (swipe left to check it out and visit our link in bio @statementcards 👈🏼 to preorder yours!)⠀ ⠀ Now through Election Day, we're donating 20% of all retail sales of our ambitious women cards to She Should Run: a nonpartisan nonprofit working to dramatically increase the number of women considering a run for public office.⠀ ⠀ We'll be showcasing the valuable work of each of the 40 women featured on our latest @statementcards here on our feed, as we champion and celebrate the ambitious women in our own lives with our newest greeting.⠀ ⠀ We hope you'll join us in #celebratingambition 🙌🏼 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
