The Best Ways to Celebrate Women’s Month

Imagine a world where women are not held down by societal barriers and can flourish. We can create that world, one woman at a time.

The first time I heard the word “suffrage”, I assumed instantly that it would be a derivative of the word, suffering. I was right. At least, I attributed the meaning of the former to the latter. What I learned afterwards was that women fought for the right to vote.

As many of us may know, not too long ago, women in this world were not allowed to vote for their own political leader. Then, on the 8th day of March 1914, Germany changed history when the Frauen Tag movement finally paved way for women to vote.

The world has come a long way from that time and women have gone on to perform even greater feats than that. The month of March is tagged Women’s History Month for good reason and International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March in many countries across the world.

As the world celebrates women, here are a few ways we can celebrate ourselves.

 

Build meaningful friendships


Iron sharpens Iron. Lend your energy to women around you and vice versa. If you surround yourself with goal-oriented, like-minded, strong-willed women who want the best for you and teach you life tips and tricks, you will realise that their energy feeds into yours and makes you a better person.

 

Do the things that make you happy


Go after that career, that job, that business. Make that call. Sign that proposal. Travel to that place. Society can be harsh and societal constructs should not stop you from going after your goal. Get out of that toxic relationship. Pursue happiness. When you are happy, you give your best to the world. So, do not exchange that happiness for any other thing.

 

Find a mentor


Life is a great teacher. But an even better teacher will be someone who has passed through life before you and gone through everything you’re presently going through. Find a woman that has soared high in your industry to be your mentor. If you don’t happen to find anyone personally, you can find podcasts of women you love.

 

Reach out to a less privileged female


We sometimes forget that there are other women that do not have access to basic needs. Organise or donate to a drive that caters to these needs. Some of these items may be sanitary pads, contraceptives, pain medication etcetera.

“I am not free when any woman is unfree. Even when her shackles are different from my own.” – Writer. Feminist. Civil Rights Activist. Audre Lorde.

 

Start a project you have always wanted to take on


We talk ourselves out of our best ideas. The feelings of not being good enough or not being recognised as easily as our male counterparts have killed a lot of dreams before they are even born. What better time to start that project than now? You have all the motivation you need. Don’t wait until tomorrow. Don’t give excuses. Do it now. Think about the many people that have chased their dreams and come out successful. My dear, you are not less equipped than they are. Create the change you want.

 

Imagine a world where women are not held down by societal barriers and can flourish. We can create that world, one woman at a time. Don’t cower, don’t be scared. Speak up and stand up for everything you want and believe in.

Happy International Women’s History Month.

"The skin care industry has started another worryi "The skin care industry has started another worrying trend. There are young girls buying birth control pills prescribed to them by skin care “experts” to cure hormonal acne. It is true that there are certain birth control pills help with acne but please, it is only a gynecologist that can prescribe birth control for you. When I started on birth control two years ago because of heavy periods and PMS, the doctor conducted a number of tests on me." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio..

"As great as social media has been as a platform b "As great as social media has been as a platform builder, it is an avenue that comes with an insane amount of pressure. The pressure to be, show up and perform. No matter how big or small your following is. I loved all of it. But at a point, it got exhausting. You put out more and more, and you feel less and less creative, and then you burn out. Sometimes we don’t realize it, but we need a social media break." @ellapinkette Link in bio.

"I am eight years older than my sister; we are in "I am eight years older than my sister; we are in two different generations. My earliest memory of her was when my mum brought her home. I still remember the pink and white knitted shawl wrapped around her. She was so tiny. My mum would ask me to watch over her as she did chores. In a way, I have been watching over my sister since then." Lizzy Temisan Link in bio.

It exists across all relationships & even our friends and colleagues can provide a form of informal mentorship. It doesn’t have to be strict or formal, but you need to have a way to draw from the people who have gone ahead of you in the areas you aspire towards. We've shared ways to help you get the attention and commitment of a potential mentor." Link in bio.
