I Missed International Women’s Day
I Missed International Women’s Day This year, I missed International Women’s Day. Not because I don’t care. Not because I forgot. But because I had just returned from a work trip and needed to switch offline for a little while to recharge... which ended up looking like a quiet day hanging out with a bunch of lovely men in my life. And honestly, I was okay with that. Because in the days leading up to it, I had the privilege of being in multiple rooms filled with women who are trying to make their mark on the world. Women building businesses. Women creating opportunities for themselves. Women who want to be taken seriously in their work, their ideas, and their leadership. And they’re doing it while juggling real life. Kids, dogs, partners, teams, responsibilities, and everything else that comes with being a modern woman trying to have a go. It’s something I think about a lot. The role of being a woman in leadership isn’t something that lives in a single day on the calendar....
