Her Story, Our History: Celebrating International Women's Day Through Shared Journeys
Every year on March 8th, the world comes together to celebrate International Women's Day. It's a day to acknowledge the achievements of women, raise awareness about gender equality, and call for action towards a more equitable future. But beyond the official speeches and celebratory events, lies the heart of this day: stories. The stories of women who have shaped history, challenged norms, and inspired generations.
From Humble Beginnings: A History Woven with Threads of Courage
The origins of International Women's Day are rooted in the early 20th century, amidst global movements for workers' rights and suffrage. In 1908, garment workers in New York City sparked the first Women's Day, protesting against harsh working conditions and demanding fair treatment. This initial spark ignited a fire across continents, leading to the official declaration of International Women's Day in 1911.
Since then, the day has evolved to encompass a wider range of issues, from political participation and economic empowerment to access to education and healthcare. Each year, a specific theme is chosen to guide the conversation, highlighting current challenges and mobilizing action. Learn more about History of International Women’s Day

In 2019, the mogul officially became the world's richest female musician and is valued at a whopping $600 million. Much of that is due to her extremely successful brand Fenty Beauty, which launched in 2017 at Sephora. #HERstoryOURhistory (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9fvapGA_5b/?igshid=uzhw1fv1en32
