Continuing our celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we're highlighting what it means to our community! 👭
Check out what Jaclyn Wands, Director of Product Management at our partner CData Software had to say:
What does women’s history month mean to you?
"Women's History Month holds profound significance as it provides a dedicated time to reflect on the invaluable contributions of women throughout history. It's a time to honor the resilience, courage, and achievements of trailblazing women who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations. From suffragists fighting for the right to vote to scientists breaking barriers, women's history reminds us of the countless individuals who have shaped our world."
How can society better celebrate women?
"Society can continue to celebrate women by nurturing a culture of inspiration, support, and empowerment. This involves actively highlighting the diverse achievements and contributions of women across various fields through education, media representation, and public recognition. By sharing stories of resilience, innovation, and triumph, we can inspire and uplift women globally, fostering a sense of community and solidarity."
Any words of wisdom or advice for young girls today?
"To the young girls of today, I would impart this timeless wisdom: You are capable of achieving anything you choose. Embrace your passions, interests, and ambitions wholeheartedly, and pursue them with unwavering determination and perseverance. Remember the words of two of my favorite historical figures: Marcus Aurelius, who said, 'The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way' and Eleanor Roosevelt, who inspired generations by stating, 'You must do the thing you cannot do.'
"Each challenge you encounter is an opportunity for growth and learning, merely a stepping stone towards realizing your full potential. Surround yourself with people who uplift and support you, who believe in your dreams as much as you do. Stay true to yourself, be kind to others, and never underestimate the power of resilience and grit. Believe in the boundless possibilities that await you and dare to dream big as you carve out your own unique path to happiness and fulfillment. Your future is yours to shape, so embrace it with courage and conviction."
Well said! Stay tuned for more throughout the month! 🙏
