2023 National Women’s Month Celebration

Recognizing the incredible fortitude and tenacity of women who have fought for their rights

March is recognized as Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions of women throughout history and acknowledge the ongoing struggle for gender equality. This month is an opportunity to reflect on the achievements and milestones of women in various fields and industries, including politics, arts, sciences, and sports. It is also a time to honor the resilience, strength, and determination of women who have fought for their rights and the rights of others. Women’s History Month provides a platform to raise awareness about the challenges and barriers that women continue to face and to promote greater gender equity and inclusion.

Throughout history, women have made significant contributions to society, yet their accomplishments have often been overlooked or undervalued. Women’s History Month serves as a reminder to recognize and celebrate the countless women who have paved the way for future generations. From suffragettes who fought for women’s right to vote to scientists who have made groundbreaking discoveries, women have played a critical role in shaping our world.

However, despite the progress that has been made, gender inequality and discrimination persist in many areas of society. Women continue to face challenges in the workplace, in politics, and in their personal lives, including wage gaps, lack of representation in leadership positions, and gender-based violence. Women’s History Month is an opportunity to raise awareness about these issues and to advocate for gender equality.

In addition to celebrating the accomplishments of women, Women’s History Month is also a time to recognize the diversity of experiences and perspectives among women. Women of different races, ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations may face unique challenges and obstacles, and it is important to acknowledge and address these disparities.

Overall, Women’s History Month provides a platform to celebrate the achievements of women, to raise awareness about ongoing gender inequality, and to promote greater gender equity and inclusion. It is a time to honor the contributions of women and to continue the fight for a more just and equal world.

For all the women’s who are continuously fighting:

You are NOT too much of anything. You will never be excessive in any way. There is no such thing as an excessive amount of spirit. A surplus of brightness

But there are individuals in the world who will attempt to persuade you to shine less than you already do. to tone down your own energy to match that of others.

As compared to what you believe of yourself, the opinions of others are of little consequence. Your lovely soul was made to fly, so don’t hold it back from reaching its full potential. Fearing what other people may think of you should not keep you bound to the ground.

Let go of the shackles, the burdens of other people’s expectations, and the judgment that is founded in envy of how high you may soar.

If I could go through time and speak to the young women who are now in their middle years, I would tell them the same things that I am telling them now.

You do not need to change for anybody. You do not ever give somebody the power to persuade you to content yourself with a confined space since your lovely soul was created to soar.

It is not too late to do so. Discover the tiny girl hiding within you. She continues to remain there, concealing herself under years of fear, people-pleasing, and humiliation. There is never a time when it is too late to let that young girl shine. In fact, she has been holding her peace while waiting for you to grant her permission the whole time.
