52 Projects Calls For Participation
Brought My Lunch
Brought My Lunch is a photo group to showcase the lunch you brought to work. The goal is to create an incentive to 1) bring lunch to work (instead of buying expensive, less healthy meals around the office) and 2) to bring better lunches to work, lunches that are worthy of not just eating, but photographing. So pack that lunch, break out your camera, and submit your photos to the group pool.

Skirt! Rules For The Workplace
Author Kelly Love Johnson wrote this great piece on what insipired her to write Skirt! Rules For The Workplace for The Inspiraiton Project.
I also wanted to share my praise for her excellent book: "In Skirt! Rules For The Workplace, Kelly Love Johnson insightfully infuses the personal with the office political, provides you with a sharp glass cutter (for the glass ceiling) and a sturdy springboard (to jump the wage gap), and delivers a pantyhose-free kick to immediately take charge of your career."
