International Women’s Day

by Mar 8, 2018

Today is a significant day throughout the world; International Women’s Day.

In honor of this important day, I wanted to share a few of our favorite quotes from some trail-blazing, strong, wise women. Each of us are strong in our own way, and we all have our own hurdles to overcome. But one thing is for sure; we should support each other through these hurdles and unite to bring peace, equity, and happiness to all marginalized groups.

What’s the greatest lesson a woman should learn?

that since day one. she’s already had everything

she needs within herself. it’s the world that

convinced her she did not.

-Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

I’m no longer accepting the things I cannot change; I’m changing the things I cannot accept.

-Angela Davis

My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.

-Ruth Bader Ginsburg
