I have to admit that I have only been celebrating International Women’s Day for the past few years. I recently learned that international Women’s Day began in 1911, however, I don’t recall this particular day getting much attention when I was growing up, but it sure is now in the 21st century.
Women are our mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, classmates, teammates, neighbours and co-workers.
I would like to give a big shoutout to my mom and my sister, Leah, as they are amazing women, who are always there for me in life and always encouraging me. I also want to give another shoutout to my niece, Tatum, who will be turning 10-years-old this summer. It’s fun watching her grow up.
I often think about my late nana Smith and late nana Jones and how blessed I was to have them in my life.
Cheers to all the amazing women in your life.
