International Women's Day

Today we celebrate the women who have carried the world, The ones who built the future while their own dreams were deferred. The mothers, daughters, sisters who refused to be erased, Who fought for every right they have and every boundary they've faced. To the women who break ceilings while they're fixing what's below, Who nurture, lead, and sacrifice more than the world will ever know. You're the backbone of humanity, the force that holds it all, The ones who rise after every time the world has watched you fall. This day is for your struggles, for the battles won and lost, For the price you've had to pay when no one counted up the cost. For your resilience, your brilliance, your refusal to stay small, For the way you lift each other when the world tries to install walls. So here's to every woman—past, present, and to come, For the revolutions you've ignited and the wars you've already won. Today and every day, we honor all you do and are, Because the world only shines this bright because of your guiding star.
