As we transition into autumn, we are filled with a sense of renewal. This month, Parity Lab has been focused on preparing for the journey ahead, welcoming a new cohort of incredible leaders and inviting our community to join us in supporting their vital work. The momentum from our mission continues to grow, fueled by the unwavering resilience of our network.

Here’s a glimpse into what we've been nurturing this month:

💫 In the Spotlight:
