But women weren’t the only ones celebrating International Women’s Day. Men also took the time to honor the women in their lives.
Something has changed. Something is different. As I look around & see women standing up 4 equality & equal opportunity, shattering glass ceiling & status quos, I am grateful & energized. Today is #internationalwomensday but tomorrow I will continue 2 stand w/ u & fight by ur side
