Anyone else feeling powerful this week? Here’s to the hard work, the essential work, of supporting our sisters, defending our daughters and celebrating our mothers (and mothers-in-law). Here’s to teaching our girls to be kind to their bodies and our boys to respect others, and themselves, too. Here’s to our commitment to practice self-care, self-compassion and self-respect—and the demand that others do, as well. We do not fear the future, for the future is female—and full of inspiring men who stand beside us.

XO,
