Oh, to Be a Woman!

Today I attended a workshop on the eve of International Women’s Day. After so long, I’ve felt so light amidst such powerful collective feminine energy. 

There’s something incredibly beautiful about experiences being shared and heard. It creates a sense of belonging and a reminder that you matter. I felt all of that and so much more today.

Throughout my life I’ve had tremendous influence from women in my life where I felt extremely safe to just be myself. Starting with my family where opinions truly mattered and were valued which I now realise is a privilege in itself. Later when I went to college I had this storm of young and fierce feminine influence that helped me blossom and rediscover myself.

That’s what safe spaces do. That’s what the women I’ve crossed paths with have done to me. Their vulnerability, warmth, strength and love have shaped the person I am today and I value that deeply.

Happy International Women’s Day!
