Abstract
Women in the workforce continue to experience a gendered pay gap, making only around 86% of the salary of their male counterparts (Pew Research, 2022). This is worse still for those women with children, who are less likely to be considered for promotional opportunities and dismissed as not committed to their careers. As a mother, I have been on the receiving end of this discrimination, but I am also lucky enough to understand my rights and value in the workforce. The goal of this capstone project was to improve the outcomes for working mothers by developing an online community to share meaningful and actionable resources and tools through a social media platform. The Professional as a Mother identity was created with a campaign plan, branding and communication guidelines, and original content curated in service of this goal.
