This isn’t about women being better than men. This is about lifting up and amplifying voices that have so often went unheard. It’s about taking a seat at the table, because female-identifying voices are needed now, more than ever. And it’s about reconnecting people in this world.

Today, on International Women’s Day, we reflect on the progress made. We celebrate acts of courage and grit by women who have done extraordinary things throughout history. And we continue to call attention on the need for equality.

“Reach out if you’re hurting”, they say. “I’m here if you need to talk” we tell them. But here’s the hardest part – if you’re struggling with your mental health, the hardest (sometimes most impossible) task is to do the simplest things – to just “reach out”.

Being kind to each other is the only way home, my friends. Shine bright today. Drop your shoulders, lean into people, and give it away. Whatever you’ve got on any given day is more than enough.
