International Women's Day - Stand Strong


Today, as we celebrate International Women's Day, I find myself reflecting on the profound experiences of strength and connection that unfolded just last night at the March 3C Gathering. The theme was strength, and while I entered the session with a plan alongside my co-host Tamsin Astor, I was unprepared for the depth of emotion and empowerment that would ensue.

 

As fate would have it, I found myself unexpectedly thrust into a breakout room, required to confront my own understanding of strength in a way I hadn't anticipated. In that moment, I paid homage to the woman who epitomized strength in my life: my mother. A quiet figure of resilience and determination, she instilled in me the unwavering belief in my own ability to be a strong woman.

 

But what truly caught me off guard were the connections forged within the gathering. As others shared their stories of strength, vulnerability, and triumph, I felt an undeniable kinship, a shared understanding that transcended borders and backgrounds.

 

This morning, I awoke to a message from a friend in Bali, a gentle reminder of the power of gratitude and community. His family, in the midst of a ceremony and celebration of thanks, was preparing beautiful baskets of offerings, a symbolic gesture of appreciation for life's blessings. It struck me then, as I sit here with a heart overflowing with emotion, that strength knows no bounds. It transcends language, culture, and geography, weaving a tapestry of resilience that unites us all.

 

On this International Women's Day, let us celebrate the extraordinary strength of women everywhere and acknowledge the power of connection and community in uplifting and empowering one another. Together, we are unstoppable. Together, we can overcome any obstacle. And together, we can create a world where every woman is recognized, valued, and celebrated for the incredible force of nature that she is.

 

So, here's to the mothers, the grandmothers, the aunts, the daughters, the sisters, the friends—to every woman who embodies strength in its purest form. May we continue to lift each other up, inspire change, and pave the way for a future where equity reigns supreme.


Happy International Women's Day. Today and every day, may we stand strong, stand together, and stand proud.
