Poem – International Women's Day 2022

Women and girls are not looking to be equal to men on male terms, we’re looking for equal rights and to be valued on our own terms. Here are a few words from me inspired by International Women’s Day:

I’m strong when I want
I’m soft when I want
I speak out when I want
I work hard when I want

I serve when I need
I stop when I need
I am resilient when I need
I create peace when I need

I am equal just as I am
I am feminine just as I am
I am valued just as I am
I am loved just as I am

Everyone’s invited to join and benefit from the women’s movement. There’s a vast female network that’s growing organically – deep connections are maintained and profound conversations are happening all the time. It’s beautiful, compassionate and quiet – you need to listen to women or you’ll miss out!

Empowering women means valuing all forms of the feminine – sexual and reproductive autonomy, closing the gender pay gap, funding women’s health and ending femicide are among some of the issues.
