International Women's Day

As we celebrate the brave women who have come before us and those who rise with us now let’s just hit the highlights reel of what women have accomplished in this past year… Government responses to COVID-19: In countries with women leaders, including New Zealand, Germany, Finland, Bangladesh and more, the quick and decisive actions of the women in charge led to lower cases and lower deaths. The first female vice president was elected to office in the United States @vp Period products are now free in Scotland. Afghan citizens will soon have their mothers’ names printed along with their fathers’ on their ID cards. Equal pay for women soccer players in Brazil and Sierra Leone. New Zealand appointed its first Indigenous female Foreign Minister. @nanaia_mahuta Yall! The patriarchy is being ushered out and, folks, the future is female. This month is not only Womens history month but will also mark a year of navigating a global pandemic for most of us. I know I’ve been reflecting on that a lot lately because a year ago this girl was in a vastly different place than I am today. There’s another woman that I can’t help but think about lately… On March 13th it will be a year since the unjust death of Beonna Taylor. And for me she might be the most influential woman of the past year. For all women, all femme presenting humans, and all the people who love us lets rise together and move together so no lives lost will have been in vein. We will not put down our Black Lives Matter signs. We will not end the micro activism. We will not take a back seat on gender inequality. History does repeat it’s self. Our personal histories. Our family histories. The history of the world. Let’s continue to rewrite the story ladies. Let’s give the future something worthy of repeating. Equality, inclusion, human rights. Remember there is no voice too small to be heard. Keep your ears open, keep your heart open. @tiny.mic.micro.news
