Stories of Impact
Real women. Real work. Real partnership.
Economic security makes workforce participation possible. When women can fully engage in work, businesses grow stronger, and economies follow.
These stories show how that change happens in real life — through women building financial independence and professionals using their skills to expand opportunity.
“Because of Working for Women, I’ve reached milestones I once thought were out of reach — advocating for myself, gaining control over my finances, and believing that more is possible. And I’m just getting started.”
— Corryn Barnes
IN HER WORDS
Women Building Economic Independence
These are the voices at the center of our mission.
Women navigating work, caregiving, ambition, and resilience often without a safety net.
They share what support means.
What opportunity unlocked.
And what financial independence looks like on their terms.
“This was one of my first opportunities to really own something — and watching it grow has felt like building a legacy.”
— Rebecca Etessami, ZS, Strategy and Operations Manager
THROUGH THE WORK
Professionals Putting Purpose Into Practice
Change doesn’t happen by intention alone.
It takes leaders, teams, and professionals — women and men — willing to contribute their expertise where it matters most.
These stories highlight skill-based volunteering in action:
how businesses invest in people, how professionals grow as leaders, and how partnership accelerates impact.
