Providing Healing, Promoting Hope

I am Woman Hear Me Roar! Women’s History Month is a celebration! It is a celebration of womanhood and the progress we have made. Do we still have some path to tread, yes! However, just take a look back at the path that has already been forged. One foot in front of another leads to leaps and bounds and waters that women before us thought would never be chartered. Yet here we are! is year’s theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” recognizes the many ways in which women have provided healing and hope to humanity for countless generations. is is month also promotes re ection of individual and collective achievements that inspire, support and empower one another!

Here is a little backstory on how Women’s History Month was created. According to history.com, International Women’s Day was rst celebrated on March 8, 1911. Decades later, a local school district in Sonoma, CA celebrated Women’s History Week in 1978. Shortly after, in 1979, several organizations celebrated and advocated for Women’s History Week together: Sarah Lawrence College, the Women’s Action Alliance, and the Smithsonian Institution.

In 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the rst presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women’s History Week. e U.S. Congress followed suit the next year, passing a resolution establishing a national celebration. Six years later, the National Women’s History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the event to the entire month of March! Do you see what happens when women come together…we move mountains! What was thought to be the impossible is now very much possible.

When was the last time you re ected on your life and the contributions that you have made to your family and community? Honestly, when was the last time you have actually given thought to how you have overcome obstacles and triumphed in your journey? When you re ect, you should see the maturity of the young girl into the con dent wise woman. You should see how your spirit has been able to positively impact those around you. You should begin to see how your talents and gifts were able to build dreams and add to many organizations. Do you see the children in your life, those you have birthed and those that were blessed to you? If it were not for your life, where would they be? We stand on the shoulders of so many who have sacri ced and used their voices to move us forward. Each decade, the momentum of the women’s movement increases. We may not be where we would like to be but you have to smile and take pride in how far we have come. Let’s travel down memory lane for a little perspective:

It was you that turned pain into power. Doors closed but you found ones that would open. You created new paths and stood as example that nothing is impossible to those that believe and put in the work!
