We have another incredible #LITspotlight in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth! At 28, Isabel Isaza moved to the US speaking little English. Determined to prove herself, she enrolled in free ESL courses. It's that drive & resourcefulness that helped her excel in her science career.

Diverse perspectives drive the best outcomes. That is why I am so proud to be a Founding Equity LP in @AcrewCapital where ~70% of the capital comes from diverse LPs. Shout out to @tgr and @LaurenKolodny, @BrownUniversity alumni living their values bit.ly/3ifoYKV

This is so true. There’s a dearth of advice for founders/ CEOs for how to approach pregnancy and maternity leave. On the investor side, I’ll share that even though I was new to @OMERSVentures, everyone has been so supportive. It’s a family friendly workplace.

Standing ovation for our friend/new mum/VC/writer @chrissyfarr’s incredibly thoughtful, well-researched and personal piece.
Speaking from my own vantage point, I am still shocked by how many VC funds don’t even have a maternal leave policy in place, for starters.
