In Ep. 11, we dive into how to help moms navigate the workforce on their terms with Chandra Sanders from The Mom Project. The Mom Project is a startup committed to supporting moms in the workplace by connecting talented professionals with world-class employers who understand that no one should have to choose between family and career. Chandra tells her story as single mom who turned to The Mom Project for support after she was laid off during the pandemic. She now leads The Mom Project’s RISE program, carrying out its mission to elevate moms and women of color by providing scholarships to highly sought-after certification programs, enhancing their career and increasing their earning potential and economic opportunity without compromising authenticity. The Mom Project recently secured $80 million in funding (bringing total funding to $116 million currently) and counts Serena Williams among its strategic advisors. IMPRESSIVE!
