Women's rights are the fundamental human rights that were enshrined by the United Nations for every human being on the planet nearly 70 years ago. These rights include the right to live free from violence, slavery, and discrimination; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn a fair and equal wage! 🙌

March is Expanding Girls' Horizons in Science & En

March is Expanding Girls' Horizons in Science & Engineering Month. ⚙️🔬 Science and engineering are typically male-dominated fields, but times are changing. With an influx of women in these industries, young girls are beginning to see themselves represented in this niche and remain interested in these topics for longer. 🧪 In the past, although many girls are interested in science when they are young, most of them are discouraged from pursuing those interests. This month, and every month, it's time to encourage girls to pursue their passions, no matter what they are!

North Carolina's Maya Angelou has inspired generations of women, Black folks and all people who struggle to overcome prejudice, discrimination and abuse. Angelou’s writings left a mark on society for the better, bringing greater diversity into the theater and literature.

The pandemic has definitely put a toll on working

The pandemic has definitely put a toll on working women. The extra burden women are facing puts them at an extra risk of mental and physical burnout. It is important to remember to try to find time to take care of yourself! ☀️ 🌱
