She does not look away in fear, nor in shame, nor in submission. She looks away because her truth is powerful, her mind unshaken, and her spirit unyielding. She carries a light that can burn through doubt, injustice, and arrogance—yet she waits, not in weakness, but in wisdom, knowing that her time to rise is near.

To every woman who has ever been underestimated, silenced, or overlooked—your truth is your strength, your mind is your power, and your fire is your gift to the world. Today, and every day, may you stand tall, knowing that your light will shine when it must, and the world will see you for who you truly are.

On this Women’s Day, and every day, I salute you!
