International Women’s Day

I saw a video today that has stuck with me:

I really just wanted to be here to celebrate everyone in this room because I know how hard it is to get up in the morning when the world’s against you and even when the lights are sparkling and the fashion is on and the makeup is done there are days when you think how am I going to do this but you do and I commend you for it because there are days when no one commends us for it, so let today be the day that Cynthia Arrivo said you’re f*cking amazing. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re anything less than that, and if they do, don’t listen. Not worth your time. You have so much more to do than listen to that nonsense.

Cynthia Arrivo

I’m going to add my voice to hers:

You are f*cking amazing. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re anything less than that, and if they do, don’t listen. Not worth your time. You have so much more to do than listen to that nonsense.

And a song comes to mind:

In this world when we are fighting for basic rights let us keep our foundations strong for us to go higher than we ever thought possible.
