In case it wasn’t apparent enough already, the Golden Globes reinstated that women rock from jaw-dropping looks to big wins (we’re looking at you, Jane Fonda). We can’t wait to celebrate our amazing female leaders in Birmingham all month long. But first, let’s get you situated with a new job, leadership skills and knowledge about the local business scene.

Who else is making history:
🌟 The COVID-19 vaccine. She’s pretty popular, and popularity brings rumors. The Jefferson County Department of Health put together a helpful guide when it comes to fact vs. fiction for the vaccine

🌟  Birmingham and Hoover. They ranked third nationally for strong, positive small business sentiment. Is it braggy to assume we might’ve had something to do with it? 

🌟 Masks. There is no one-size-fits-all box in terms of style or state restrictions. While some states relax or enhance their policies, Alabama’s is due to expire on Friday, March 5 unless extended by Governor Kay Ivey.
