international women’s day

To keep it light and full of fun today, I want to highlight a handful of women who I truly believe need to be highlighted. Not because they’re better than you or I, instead simply because they are women out in the world doing incredible things that I want to shine some light on.

I want to acknowledge that there are a ton of different ways to be a woman. I acknowledge that maybe not everyone feels a sense of safety in their life to be who they truly are. There are trans women all over the world who are currently not receiving the love and recognition that we believe they deserve. There are femme women and masculine-presenting women. There are women who are proud to be women, and there are women who are scared to be themselves. There are women in the workplace who are too afraid to speak up, and women in our households that have no courage to use their voices. Women who spend countless hours trying to hide who they are, as well as women who are shouting from the rooftops that they are happy with their identities. Women are amazing, and undeniably, we are all very very different.

You are welcome here - as you are. We will forever celebrate you - just as you are.
