Happy International Women's Day!

I had been trying to enjoy a lazy Sunday but I wanted to post about International Women's Day! This is a day to celebrate women all around the world and all our achievements but also to focus on many of the issues that we still have to keep fighting for. From pay inequality to health care and not to mention that women with disabilities and trans Women are often overlooked by society. So, today and everyday, I hope we continue to dream, achieve and make the world a better place.

Happy International Women's Day!

To all women, which includes trans women and women with disabilities (who both unfortunately tend to be overlooked by society), we are so powerful and strong and definitely matter. Women may not always get the appreciation for all that we do but that doesn't stop us from striving and continuing to make a difference and break barriers.

So, to women worldwide, I want celebrate our strength, perseverance, achievements and empowerment. To our continued fight for education, equality, equal pay, reproductive rights, disability rights and our continued fight against racism, sexism, etc. and ending wars and genocide as we fight for a better world.

Happy International Women's Day! Below is a mini list of movies that celebrate women being awesome.

I want to say thank you to all the women (which includes trans women) who fought for us to get this far, thank you to all the women who are fighting for us right now for the future generations. I think it's important to recognize the accomplishments of all the women who came before us and the women currently marching ahead accomplishing things every day. I want to lift up all the women in the world who never stop fighting for a better world.

On International Women's Day, I also want to celebrate ordinary women doing extraordinary and non-extraordinary things that tend to go largely unnoticed be it working hard and struggling just to survive to managing your life day-to-day. The world may not notice all that you do just to make it but know that you are appreciated.

With that said Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women in the world.

I am thankful for all the women who inspire and fight for equality and help make the world a better place. We have to not only support and champion others but for ourselves as well. I hope that we never have to settle for less but continue to strive for our dreams and goals.

Happy International Women's Day!

March 8th is International Women's Day, a global day of celebrating women in all our achievements and continued progress. There is still more work to be done, we are still fighting for equal pay, control of our bodies, equal representation and so much more regarding women's rights but I like that women's equality is being fought for by both women and men. As Mala Yousafzal said "we cannot all succeed if half of us are held back!"

Today, also marks A Day Without A Woman protest and for those who able to participate, women are not going to work nor making any purchases in stores or online with the exception of women owned/minority owned businesses. Regardless of whether or not you are participating in the protest they are asking people to wear red to show support and solidarity for women.  

The International Women's Day and A Day Without A Woman is a time to reflect on the importance of women and all that we do and have done. I support all women and I mean all women because I feel like transgender women and women with disabilities are sometimes excluded.

I feel at times there is so much judgment placed on women and what choices we make that I hope with March being Women's History month we can learn to celebrate women in all that it means. We need to empower each other because we are going to need to work together to fight for change. With that said Happy International Women's Day!
