This Women's History Month, let's celebrate the achievements, courage, and contributions of women throughout history. We recognize the pivotal role they play in transforming lives, breaking barriers, and fostering positive change. Join us in acknowledging remarkable women like Jane Honkiman, who founded Postpartum Support International in 1987 in Santa Barbara, California. She, and many like her, have paved the way in increasing awareness among communities about maternal mental health care. Postpartum Support International has positively impacted women to every state in the U.S and 36 countries internationally! Let us continue to uplift, empower, and inspire one another all over the world. Here's to the past, present, and future achievements of women, both within our company and beyond. Happy Women's History Month!

Breaking barriers, rewriting narratives - it's time to reimagine media freedom for women. In a world where voices converge and stories intertwine, let's celebrate the strength, resilience, and creativity of women who shape the media landscape. From amplifying unheard perspectives to challenging stereotypes, we are forging a path towards inclusivity and equality. Together, we shatter glass ceilings, reclaim spaces, and empower generations to come. Join the movement, and let our words be a catalyst for change. In this reimagined media realm, women's voices soar, unrestricted and unapologetic, inspiring a new era of representation and empowerment. Thank you Friedrich Naumann Foundation Africa for continuing to be a beacon of hope for all the women in the media landscape. #ReimagineMediaFreedom Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Cleopatra Hunda

Join us in celebrating the significant contributions of women to our industry for Women’s History Month in March. This monthlong celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society has been observed annually in the United States since 1987, but began as a local grassroots celebration in California in 1978 as Women's History Week. In 1980, several woman’s groups and historians led by the National Woman’s History Project (now known as the National Women’s History Alliance) successfully lobbied for national recognition, and the same year the first federal proclamation was issued declaring the week of March 8, 1980 as Woman’s History Week. In 1987, another proclamation was passed declaring March Women's History Month. This year's theme is "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion," recognizing women who understand the need to eliminate bias and discrimination from individuals' lives and institutions.

“I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us.” - America Ferrera in Barbie The Movie To all the women out there, have you ever paused to reflect on the journey of being a woman in today's world? Women's History Month originated from a grassroots movement in Sonoma County, California to honor women's contributions to history, culture, and society. It provides a platform to recognize trailblazing women who have shattered barriers and paved the way for future generations. Despite significant strides, women continue to face systemic barriers in various aspects of life, including the workplace, healthcare, and education. Gender pay gaps, lack of representation in leadership roles, and gender-based discrimination persist as pressing challenges that demand attention and action. This year's theme celebrates “Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion”, recognizing women who understand that, for a positive future, we need to eliminate bias and discrimination from our lives and institutions. What will you do this month to honor Women’s History Month? Swipe to see how you can show your support this month and throughout the year.

As we reflect on the month of March, traditionally celebrated as Women's History Month, it's vital to recognize that the legacies of remarkable women, especially those from BIPOC communities, are not confined to any single month. The contributions of these women are woven into the fabric of our daily lives, shaping the society we live in, the freedoms we enjoy, and the innovations that propel us forward. Yet, too often, the stories of these trailblazers remain unsung, their achievements tucked away in the footnotes of history. It is not enough to honor these women with a fleeting acknowledgment; their legacies deserve to be integrated into the mainstream narrative, celebrated and remembered 24/7, for their impact transcends time and is felt in countless ways, every single day. The challenge we face is not merely one of remembrance but of active recognition and amplification. It is up to us—educators, leaders, parents, peers—to ensure that the tales of BIPOC women who have contributed to our collective progress are told and retold. These women, from scientists to activists, from inventors to pioneers in arts and culture, have not only shaped their respective fields but have also paved the way for future generations to dream bigger and reach further. Let us challenge ourselves and others to provide space for these stories, not just in our history books but in our conversations and platforms. By doing so, we acknowledge the undeniable truth that our combined success is built on the diverse and powerful contributions of all individuals, particularly those who have had to overcome the greatest barriers to leave their indelible mark on our world. #womenshistorymonth #ourfacesourvoices
