PULL UP A SEAT, WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
We’ve been testing an activity lately. We give a group of women index cards and pens, and ask them to write down an example of when they feel strong.
Inevitably, they freeze. Pens don’t move (this happened to us, too). Eyes gaze off somewhere in the distance and they wait for inspiration to just happen. There’s usually some nervous laughter and a little exasperation.
And then finally, one by one, pens start moving.
And here’s the crazy thing: Once they come up with their first example of strength, they often write another, and sometimes another. They share what they wrote with each other, and the conversation becomes animated and heartfelt. There’s every emotion from laughter to tears.
These women are discovering an inherent truth: They are so strong.
And so are you.
In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re dedicating March to celebrating strong women everywhere. And that means we’re celebrating you. You reading this at work, before the school drop-off, on the commute, in the thick of a messy time in life, at night after a long day. You, just as you are.
As we roll out stories of strength throughout the month, we’re asking you to stand in your power and tell your story. Declare your strength. We are a force for good when we raise our voices in unison. Let’s own our strength and use it to lift women everywhere.
We can’t wait to hear from you.
Submit your story of strength here. At the end of the month, we’ll choose one entry to share on the B3 Magazine.
