National Theme: “Moving Forward Together”
This month is a celebration of women on International and National platforms for the significant contributions they have accomplished in their society, community, and the world. Women have exhibited the ability to break through barriers in equal rights, resources, and opportunities, giving them a voice to speak up and establish change.
For generations, women have paid it forward by strengthening women to overcome setbacks and believe that they have something to contribute. Every accomplishment, whether great or small, has impacted women’s lives. It may have been the grandmother who spoke words of wisdom to her granddaughter, the teacher who took the time to offer advice to her student, or the corporate professional who gave an inexperienced young woman an opportunity that changed the trajectory of her life.
Women are resilient in their pursuits due to their overwhelming resolve to see change. The National theme, “Moving Forward Together,” reminds us that we are responsible for educating, mentoring, and leading them to embrace the possibilities that await them.
Every woman needs to be loved and encouraged, so take the time to find a woman who is a daughter, sister, niece, grandmother, cousin, aunt, friend, in-laws, or stepfamily member and show some acknowledgement to appreciate them. This is the time to move forward over disappointments and rejections if possible. We have made progress, but the challenges are not over. Every daughter born will have steps of women’s achievements that will help her climb as high as she desires. So, women, we must continue to build the steps to break more barriers for each generation.
