I am not a perfect feminist – but I am doing my best to be better. Here are seven things I am reminding myself of this International Women's Day.
At this point you’ll probably either be gleefully re-gramming uplifting quotes about the sisterhood or rolling your eyes at the brands jumping on the bandwagon and commercialising the day.Still, when lovely #IWD messages started rolling into one of my Whatsapp groups this morning, I couldn’t help but feel a burst of positivity and gratitude – but also started thinking about being a woman and whether I’m doing it right.“I am grateful for the women I know.
I am sometimes quietly blown away by the talent of the women I work with and by the kindness and brilliance of the of the women who are my family and friends.I am aware of the women who have come before me and broken barriers, often taking risks to do so.I know how lucky I am to be a woman in this part of the world, in this time and from a background that gave me the best chance in life.“I will support women who aren’t like me.
I will educate myself on the things I spend my money on and the companies I like and I will factcheck them on their feminist credentials.We don’t all have to agree. I have the right to change my mind and to come to different conclusions to other women – and they do too.
