The way that I see Women’s History Month is not just about celebration. It's about remembering, it's about really sitting with what women have had to push through just to be recognized as human beings with autonomy, intellect, and power.
I want to be very clear here, ending with the word power. I am not talking about something supernatural. What we're are not talking about are capes, myths, you know, that stuff that is out of reach. We are talking about the kind of power that amplifies voices too often silenced. The kind of power that electrifies a room when truth is spoken, even when it shakes the foundation.
Everything we possess is rooted in lived experience, in learned resilience, in the necessity of navigating a world that has not always made space for us. Our power is built in real time—through decisions, through survival, through care, through courage.
We are women in all the ways we exist, across identities, across expressions, across experiences. We are not limited to one way of being.
In the midst of all things we were denied, women were still building, still creating, still holding entire communities together. Othermothering is what I was taught about, not too long ago. We don't talk about this part, the Othermothering part enough anymore. I remember not being able to go one day without hearing an adult say something like, "it takes a village."
Women have always been the infrastructure of humanity. Before systems were formalized, before policies were written, before recognition was given, WE, as women were already doing the work. Caring for children that were not biologically ours. Holding families together through crisis. Creating informal networks of survival, healing, and connection.
And yet, the world has often tried to reduce women to ideals. To roles. To expectations. To boxes that feel easier to control than to truly understand. But! Women! The women have never been just one thing.

Women are...
Women are!! The COFFEE in THE MORNING!
Women are brave. Women are bold. Women are complex. Women are kind. Women are empathetic. Women are strategic. Women are soft and powerful at the same time. Women are everything the world needs, often all at once.
From the crowns of our heads to the arches of our feet, women carry knowledge, intuition, history, and resilience in ways that cannot be simplified. We care DEEPLY! Not because we are expected to, because we understand what it means to HOLD life, to sustain it, and to fight for it.
So, this month is not just about honoring women, it is about telling the truth about women.
We are builders.
We are protectors.
We are innovators.
We are leaders.
WE ARE THE VILLAGE!
HAPPY WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH!
