what does it mean to be a woman?

3/8/2020

It's International Women's Day! Today I feel inspired by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, pictured above. She is a Nigerian writer and represents, to me, so much of what it means to be a woman. And I say woman, but I'm really speaking to what it means to be a person, exploring life in a body, on this earth, at this time.

To me, being a woman means,

Feeling at home in my body, despite what others say I should look like or act like
Appreciating my inherent value as a human being
Being able to rejoice in the beauty and accomplishments of other women
Not apologizing for opening my mouth or taking up space
Knowing that what I want is OK

How about you? What does it mean to you to be a woman? Please share in the comments below. We'd love to hear from you in celebration of International Women's Day.
