Happy International Women’s Day! I’m thankful to have crossed paths with each of you and to celebrate our importance together. We ARE important; we efficaciously bring life to the world we live in and make it a better place in so many ways. International Women’s Day carries a new theme each year and 2015 is the year to “Make It Happen.” If you think this is just a day to bake a cake and chat lady parts, you’re missing the mark. If you think “Why are we entitled to a gender-specific day?” then hear me out.
We’ve come a great distance as women since the first International Women’s Day in 1909, but there is still a significant amount of change to be had. We need this day for many reasons. So shall we ask why?
