Today is International Women’s Day.
There’s a part of me that feels incredibly proud to be a woman and deeply grateful for the women in my life who love me, support me, challenge me, and cheer me on every single day. 💕🙏🏽
But there’s another part of me that feels a quiet sadness too.
Because while many of us have opportunities our grandmothers could only dream of, millions of women around the world still don’t have the freedom to live up to their full potential.
Globally, 1 in 3 women will experience physical or sexual violence in her lifetime.
Women still earn about 80 cents for every dollar men earn, and the global gender pay gap remains around 20%.
And the reality is that these gaps are even wider for many women of color and women from lower economic backgrounds.
In the U.S., Black women earn about 66 cents and Latina women about 57 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.
Women also carry over 2.5 times more unpaid household and caregiving work than men, even when they work full time.
Too many women are still abused, manipulated, silenced, or treated like objects. Too many girls are denied education, choice, and safety.
Empowering women and children is something I feel deeply passionate about. It’s one of the reasons I try to support and uplift organizations that create opportunities for women and girls like SAFe Alliance, Girl Scouts USA, Young Women’s Alliance, Women in technology, and Women in business.
Because when women are empowered, supported, and lifted up, the impact goes far beyond one person.
Families are stronger.
Communities are stronger.
The whole world benefits.
My hope is that every girl grows up with access to education, with choices, and with autonomy over how she lives her life. That she feels loved, cherished, and supported.
Let’s all choose to be that champion for someone else. The one who uplifts, supports, and opens doors for the women around her. ✨
I’m so grateful to be hosting a soundbath with 5 other incredible women today from 2-4PM
