To be a women, to know that 'not like other girls' is not a compliment has been the stepping out of girlhood & in to a womanhood for me. It is this knowledge that to hold every women high, to give her due respect, opportunity, support is a natural impulse.

To be a woman is to be the embodiment of strength, courage, intelligence and beauty. Not the kind of strength that comes from lifting heavy weights but one that comes from breaking free from patriarchal shackles. Not the kind of courage that comes from combating a rival but one that comes from standing up and believing in yourself even when the world tells you not to. Not the kind of intelligence that comes from scoring an even 100 in an exam but one that comes from recognizing and understanding that you have the power to do absolutely anything. Not the kind of beauty that comes from silky hair, milky skin or the perfect body, but one that comes from knowing that there's no one as magical as you in the entire universe.
To be a woman is to wear your crown of confidence high, reminding the world that you're breathtakingly unstoppable. It is to free yourself from anything and anyone who makes you feel like you're not worthy enough to fly as high as you want. It is to cheer loud, celebrate louder and clap the loudest for yourself and for every other woman who proves that she's not afraid to be herself.

This Women's Day, embrace the spirit of womanhood in you by applauding yourself loud enough for the world to hear. You deserve everything you've ever wished for and more; don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Happy Women's Day🦋🤍🌸
