To all the women and little ladies out there: You are brave. You are strong. You are resilient through the daily fear, the assaults, the degrading comments. You are intelligent. You are light in darkness. You are creative. You are change. And you are so much more than enough. Thank you for the battles you brave every single day.
Today we celebrate us. And we acknowledge our allies. Our supporters. We are not here to practice misandry. We are here to speak our truths. We are here to bring down the walls of those who long ago removed the word feminist from their vocabulary in misunderstanding and fear of its meaning. We are here to celebrate all the wonderful things women do on the daily that go unacknowledged, miscredited, unappreciated. We ask to not be treated as less. We ask that our bodies not be objectified as playgrounds. We ask for recognition that there should be no need to give thanks - being treated as equal and with respect should be a given. That we should all be on the same team. We should all be on the same level. We appreciate those who celebrate with us. And we hope, that one day, our lives will not be a balance beam walk in a culture of scarcity. We hope, one day, you will all see us as enough, too. "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
