Embracing women's day beyond workforce
This post is about a topic that has been on my mind for a long time but I keep pushing to write about it. Every time it has crossed my mind, I decided to finish and release it on March 8th of the coming year, a day that is internationally recognized as Women's Day.

My LinkedIn feed is flooded with posts marking this celebration and rightly so. This day is a reminder and celebration of the journey spanning many decades to get us where we are today, a day to recognize and continue amplifying those voices and platforms (AnitaB.org, as one example) that speak, advocate, and celebrate contributions of women in the professional ecosystem at a global scale.
