Today marks a historic milestone for women in Georgia and across our nation.

With the election of Keisha Lance Bottoms, Georgia will have its first woman governor, and our nation will welcome its first Black woman governor. At The Atlanta Women’s Foundation, we believe in a future where every woman and girl has the opportunity to lead, contribute, and help shape her community. Historic milestones like this remind us of the progress made, the barriers overcome, and the possibilities that continue to expand for future generations.
