#EmbraceEquity
Not just today but every day, for every woman around the world. That means education, healthcare, employment, entrepreneurship, and justice for every woman.
On this day where we are to celebrate the achievements of the women’s rights movement, I encourage you to ask questions.
Why do women owned businesses receive less funding?
Why do some women live with period poverty?
Why are some young women prevented from going to school?
Are you your sister’s keeper?
This International Women’s Day, I’m focusing on what I can do to uplift or open the door for other women in my community and around the world. I challenge you to do the same.
I’ll leave you with one of my favourite quotes.
We must always attempt to lift as we climb.” – Angela Davis
