Women Then, Women Now
Reading about what women's conditions were like in the 1800's and 1900's, and even as recent as 1975, when women couldn't open up a bank account without a male co-signer, I was shocked.

As women of color, we had even more obstacles in our way. Here's to the women, the sages, the visionaries, and those who fought and struggled so we could exercise our rights. Here's to the women of the future, who will build on our accomplishments today.

Happy International Women's Day, everyone!
