It’s International Women’s Day and in an attempt to bring awareness to the subject, I wanted to write a post highlighting ways to support women in your community and beyond. I want to note that while we are touching on this subject this morning, your support should push forward all year long. Today is a great conversation starter for people who might not have women’s issues top of mind. But please – let’s try not to forget once these 24 hours have passed. A movement only continues to have momentum as long as there are people behind it.
