From Motor City to Matriarchal Power: Recognizing the Pulse of Women’s Contributions in Detroit’s Professional and Educational Sector

March 20, 2024 | Women's History Month Edition


Welcome to our special Women's History Month edition blog post, where we delve deep into the heart of Detroit's professional and educational sectors to celebrate the pulse of women's contributions. From the engine roars of Motor City to the steady beat of matriarchal power, join us on a journey of recognition and appreciation for the remarkable role women have played in shaping the landscape of Detroit's workforce and academia. This tribute to resilience, innovation, and leadership highlights their indelible impact on the past, present, and future of this iconic city. Get ready to be inspired as we focus on our women in Detroit and beyond, amplifying their voices and honoring their astonishing contributions so we can advocate on their behalf for equality.  


As we commemorate Women's History Month, it's imperative to acknowledge the persistent issue of pay inequity that women face, both in Detroit and across the nation. Despite advancements in gender equality, disparities in pay remain a stark reality. In Detroit, as in many other cities, women continue to earn significantly less than their male counterparts for performing the same work. This wage gap not only undermines the economic security of women but also perpetuates systemic inequalities that hinder their professional advancement and overall well-being. Nationally, statistics reveal that women earn, on average, only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, with the gap being even wider for women of color. (Kochlar, 2023) To put this into a clearer context, women are paid on average 33% less than men. This glaring inequity underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts to address systemic barriers, promote pay transparency, and advocate for policies that ensure fair and equal compensation for all individuals, regardless of gender. As we honor the contributions of women throughout history, let us also commit to advancing gender parity in the workplace and beyond, fostering a future where every woman receives the recognition and remuneration she rightfully deserves.


Hear me out… 


Inequities between men and women can have profound effects on both mental and professional health. When women face discrimination, bias, and unequal treatment in the workplace or educational settings, it can lead to heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. Constantly battling against systemic barriers and stereotypes can take a toll on mental well-being, leading to feelings of inadequacy, imposter syndrome, and burnout. Additionally, the economic repercussions of pay inequity can exacerbate financial stressors, further impacting mental health.


Furthermore, professionally, inequities in opportunities for advancement and unequal pay can create a sense of frustration, disillusionment, and decreased job satisfaction among women. When women are undervalued and underpaid for their contributions, it can erode their confidence and motivation, affecting their performance and career progression. Moreover, systemic biases and barriers can limit access to leadership roles and professional networks, hindering women's ability to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their fields.

Addressing these inequities is not only crucial for promoting gender equality but also for safeguarding the mental and professional well-being of individuals. By creating inclusive environments, implementing fair policies, and advocating for equal opportunities, we can support the mental health and professional success of women and foster environments where everyone can thrive regardless of gender.


As an organization, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all women for their unwavering dedication, sacrifice, and leadership in the education and professional sectors. Your tireless efforts and resilience have not only propelled your respective organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and professional endeavors forward but have also inspired countless others to strive for excellence and equality. In the face of systemic barriers and discrimination, you have continued to break barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. As we celebrate Women's History Month and beyond, we pledge to stand alongside you in the fight for equality, advocating for policies and practices that recognize and uplift the invaluable contributions of women in every sector.


Together, we will continue to work towards a world where gender does not determine opportunity, and where every individual has the chance to thrive and succeed. Thank you for your remarkable leadership and dedication throughout Detroit and beyond!


Genuinely, 


Dr. Ashley Terry

Deputy Director, DCAN

This post didn’t just explain—it invited. You invited readers to consider, to feel, to reflect. And you did it without overwhelming or oversimplifying. That’s a gift. It felt like someone was walking beside me, showing me the way—not dragging me forward or leaving me behind. You’ve written something rare: helpful, respectful, and quietly powerful. I’ll carry this with me.

Hello, My brother visited Costa Rica last year and really enjoyed his trip. He went in February, and the weather was sunny, warm, and perfect for sightseeing and outdoor fun. He shared that the roads were easy to travel and there were no rain delays. While planning, he kept asking when is the best time to travel to Costa Rica, and now he says the dry season is the best.
