“Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou
I don’t think women should be pressured to stand up, but I do think that the women who do choose to stand up should recognize the liberation of their choice, no matter how big or small. I like to think that my choice will positively impact women of the future. I want them to have a world where they are supported and permitted to be exactly the women they were born to be. Not limited by job growth, not feeling unsafe in dark parking lots, not having to debate whether she should leave a job because her boss makes her uncomfortable; she can wear a dress, wear her natural hair, wear makeup, and whatever else makes her feel more confident and at home in herself.
