Black Out Tuesday

SalientMG wanted to recognize and respect the silence on social media on Tuesday; therefore we did not feature a woman as part of our International Women’s Year.  We will still highlight 365 women by March 8th, 2021 as we look to showcase diverse talent and women across industries.
