INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
It's hard to want to keep fighting and pushing the status quo when it feels like the world is on fire in every corner and it also feels like corporate America is gobbling up feminism with their "girl boss" rhetoric. The very idea of "girl boss" is backwards and puts a qualifier on true power. Being a woman in 2022 is a mix of Luisa and Isabela from Encanto. The pressure to be both totally strong and capable at all times and also beautiful, graceful and poised at all times.
Existing is hard, being productive is hard, keeping it together is hard,
and yet here we are.
Women, we have so much more to do and so many more places to go, and I truly hope to see you all at the top.
