Celebrating the Voices of Strength
1. Audre Lorde

This is where true courage shines, not in the absence of fear but despite the presence of it.
2. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ruth believed that “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exceptions.” As members who make up most of society, it is imperative that women’s voices have a place among big decision-making processes. Whether it’s in a boardroom or government meeting, a woman’s perspective is essential for the future.
3. Kamala Harris
As an attorney and American politician Kamala speaks about the power of resilience and how it can lead to change. “There will be people who say to you, ‘You are out of your lane.’ But don’t let that harden you. Resilience is crucial for leaders who are striving to make changes in the face of resistance.” This rings true as often women find themselves doing work behind the scenes, but we are not that fragile. We are versatile, powerful, and have what it takes to make major changes.
4. Donna Langley

No one will understand what it is like to walk in our shoes as mothers, wives, or even business-women. This is an expedition we alone experience so it is imperative that we take every chance to share our stories and make our voices heard.
