This issue of Inspired Success Magazine celebrates International Women’s Day! 

Annually, March 8th is a day to honor the aspirations and strength of women who have overcome adversity and celebrated progress. Highlighting amazing women is a beautiful way to recognize their contributions and inspire others to live more in the power of their opportunities.

International Women’s Day gives us all a moment to reflect on women’s achievements throughout history and to acknowledge them in all areas of society, including their significant contributions in every field, from science and technology to politics and the arts. 

These women encourage the next generations to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.

It is also a time to recognize and focus on the all-life sustainability required for our global home. 

And it will take all of us.

We all have a role in creating a more equitable and just world.

We have the resilience and tenacity to achieve Inspired Success!

I wanted to give a special thanks to all the women who have personally influenced my life.

I am grateful for my grandmother, mother, sisters, cousins, nieces, and all the women who became my sisters.

Within these connections and friendships, I learned how to be the most authentic me I could be by observing so many different personalities and deciding where I felt the most at home with myself.

One of the biggest takeaways gained was the realization that what I perceived as weaknesses were efforts of acting out moments of survival and strategy. I can forgo judgment for another woman’s position and have gained compassion and understanding. 

 I also celebrate the women I know who have become my sisters over the years and are out loud and fearless about taking on life! Courageous women who I once feared within my insecurities while quietly building friendships with them. My experiences with them were very different from my early conditioning of what it was to be a young woman stepping into the world. I quickly realized these women were showing up in my life, living in full force by example and helping strengthen my backbone.   

Near or far, all of you incredible women are forever with me!
