It’s probably a given that most of us could name five famous women in entertainment off the top of our heads. And yet, while the U.S. is desperately trying to encourage more girls to embrace the STEM fields, how many of us could name five female scientists, doctors, technologists, or mathematicians that are at the top of their game? Having experienced first-hand how COVID-19 has completely uprooted our lives, maybe we all should have a greater appreciation for women working tirelessly to solve some of the world’s other most significant challenges like climate change, disease prevention, and how to use technology for good. In our blog this week, FirstLantic is pleased to spotlight five amazing women changing the world. Jennifer Doudna Jennifer Doudna [...]

On the third Monday of January each year, we celebrate a holiday dedicated to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is the only other American besides George Washington to have his birthday commemorated as a national holiday. In 1983 President Ronald Reagan signed a bill that created a federal holiday to honor him. Dr. King is inarguably one of the most influential figures in United States history. And although revered for his commitment to Civil Rights and non-violent protests, including the well-known March on Washington in 1963, there are many other fascinating aspects about his short life that are not as well-known. In honor of his birthday, FirstLantic shares six lesser-known facts about the iconic leader who died at only 39 years old. King entered college [...]

The One Resolution We Can All Keep

Patricia Neuray2022-12-20T01:08:48-05:00January 5th, 2021|Categories: charity, Mental Wellness|

Every year millions of people around the world make resolutions most of which are broken by the end of January. So, what if this year we all made just one resolution and stuck to it. What if our one resolution was to treat everyone we meet with respect and dignity. What if we speak in a civil tone even if we disagree with each other. What if we appreciated another political viewpoint even if it’s wildly different from our own as long as it wasn’t destructive or violent in nature. And what if we went out of our way to be nice to another human being that was lonely just once a day or even once a week. Now, this may sound a [...]

Many people give back during the holidays whether they volunteer at a soup kitchen, contribute to their favorite charity, or provide a gift basket to a family in need. However, after the new year, many of us go back to our regular routine and feel like we’ve already done our part. And while the holiday season's effort is much appreciated, many people will need help long after the festivities are over. 2021 will be a very different year for millions of people. The pandemic has left much of our service economy in a terrible state, along with the workers that gained their livelihood from restaurants, retail stores, hotels, etc. There are direct results for every business that closes, and then all the other trickle-down [...]
