This week, we sent out a SheSpeaks Community Survey to learn more about you, our members. Thanks to all who took it - we were excited to read all that you had to say.
Check out some of the results and continue the conversation below. Then enter for the chance to win $50 to get started on your dreams!
I would like to start a personal drawing business! I have sold several portraits to friends and family but don't have an online page on Etsy.
I am truly having a ball helping my grandchildren and their friends achieve their goals and dreams. It's nice to be able to put my almost three-quarters of a century of experience and wisdom to such good use!
I am feeling good and what to improve to be healthy and more motivated to get more done.
Women supporting women:
"54% said they are supportive sometimes but not often." This is very sad to me, and I agree that women are "less supportive in politics or at their work or job." Women are too competitive with each other. Because we are often portrayed as "less" than men, we need to support each other more.
I think connection is extremely powerful. But signing a connection with an empowering women's networking group is difficult. Even when women try really hard to be supportive of each other, in the end it seems they always end up tearing each other down. I have left more than 25 women groups since covid-19 began to be an issue in the US. I choose not to be around that negativity or take it in.
I work in retail and make very little money. I was going through my savings rapidly before Corona hit. It is important for me now more than ever to find a new job. Not only from a standpoint that I could not afford the bills before working in retail but now from a standpoint that I do not want so much interaction with the public anymore with the virus going around. Also if something like this were to happen again I would like the security of being able to work from home and not have hours cut or have no hours at all.
I use social media to stay in touch with family and close friends
Using social media and video calling to connect to the women in my life,family and friends, who give me advice for dealign with young kids in quarantine!
I am a school bus driver and am really missing my job, my kids, and my coworkers! Want to be back to work again!

I have been using Social Media a bit more now because, my relatives are very far away, and some of us live in the Covid19 hot spots, so I want to keep checking on them, that they are OK.
For me, social media is a way to stay connected to others, establish new connections, learn, explore and cultivate my interests. It keeps me up to date and in-the-know with the latest happenings.
I do use social media, to keep me connected with people I wouldn't otherwise
Feeling better, things are opening back up, virus seems to be dissapating some
I feel great since I started working again in a positive, safe environment!
