International Women's Day 2018

3/9/2018

0 Comments

 
In honor of international women's day, I put together a list of women I admired over the past year. Some I think were obvious choices if you know me while others might be a bit of a surprise because they don't fall into my political or religious beliefs. This list is in no special order.

Meghan Marguerite McCain is an American columnist, author, former Fox News contributor, and co-host of The View. She is the daughter of 2008 presidential nominee and long-time U.S. Senator John McCain and Cindy Hensley McCain. (Wikipedia) 

I have admired Meghan for many years. Whilst she is very right wing, I do not believe she is closed minded. She keeps an mind and tries hard to see both sides of a political story. She stands up for gay people their rights for things such as marriage. She is for marijuana legalization.I don't agree with her stances on abortion. But admire her passion and the way that she stands up for herself. She is currently dealing with her father's cancer, but is putting on a brave face every day and working hard.​

Jessamyn Stanley is an internationally recognized yoga teacher and award-winning Instagram star (@mynameisjessamyn). She has been profiled and/or featured in a wide range of media outlets, including Good Morning America, New York, Glamour, Shape, People, and the Huffington Post, among others. (wiki)

​She is just beautiful inside and out. She is passionate about empowering women and teaching them to love themselves. She was one of the first people I thought of when I wanted to make this list.

Emma González is an American activist and advocate for gun control. As a high school senior she survived the February 2018 Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, and in response ... (Wikipedia)

​She is a powerful voice in gun control and hasn't even graduated high school yet. A voice for the gay community as well as women. A voice for America. I get teary listening to her speak. This is the future of our country. Gives me hope that things will not always be so terrible in this world. This is going to be the generation to make real change.

Michelle Robinson Obama is an American lawyer and writer who was First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. She is married to the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, and is the first African American First Lady. (Wikipedia)

​Strong woman and mother. Whilst her husband was in office, she did so much for kids including programs to help keep them healthy and get them better meals in school. And even though she is no longer in the white house... She is continuing to stand up for women, children, and America.

Danica Roem is an American journalist and politician of the Democratic Party. In the 2017 Virginia elections she was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates, winning the Democratic primary for the 13th district on June 13, and the general election on November 7. She is the first openly transgender person to be elected. (Wikipedia)

She has made history in not only the trans community, but our country. I admire her openness and strength. I look forward to seeing where her political career will go. .

 Ayesha Disa Curry is a Canadian–American actress, celebrity cook, cookbook author, and television personality. After guest roles in several television shows and movies, she began hosting her own show, Ayesha's Homemade, on Food Network.( Wikipedia)

I like to pretend she is my best friend... no seriously.. haha I adore this women. Classy and beautiful. Has made such a brand from herself becoming way more than "Steph's wife" and gaining her own spotlight. Her whole family is goals. I love them. 
Picture
Honestly I could go on and on here... but these are some of the ones that when their name pops on my social media stream, I just have to click in and read. I honestly beileve the future is female and women can do anything. 


Before closing, I would like to honor the woman who inspired me as a child. She raised me to be strong and opinionated. To question the world around me and to let me know that I could live a life that made me happy. My grandmother, Bridgette Lucy Taylor.

And a special place on this list for the little women I am raising, my daughters Ashlie and Poppy Marie.

Having my first child at 17 was not ideal, but I do not regret a thing. Not one. If I could do it all over again. I would. Ashlie has turned out to be a wonder person. She will soon be graduating highschool and wants to go to college to be a teacher specializing in art and music. 

My little Poppy is still growing into her own little person, and at three has enough personality for ten people. I hope that as the years pass they will live the lives they want to live and feel empowered. 


Who are some of the women you think about when wanting to celebrate Women's day?
