I raise my voice—not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard. Malala Yousafzai, education activist and youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate
March is National Women’s History Month. The 2024 theme is “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.”
The theme recognizes women throughout the country who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination entirely from our lives and institutions.
The National Women’s History Alliance writes, “It takes courage for women to advocate for practical goals like equity, diversity and inclusion when established forces aim to misinterpret, exploit or discredit them. Throughout 2024, we honor local women from the past and present who have taken the lead to show the importance of change and to establish firmer safeguards, practices and legislation reflecting these values. Following decades of discrimination, we are proud to celebrate women who work for basic inclusion, equality and fairness.”
Amen to that!
Affirmation: I will raise my voice and do what I can to make a difference.
Coaching question: What’s one thing you will do this month to advocate for equality, diversity, and inclusion?
