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.

5moI am a big fan of the Kardashians since 2007 and I always comment on every picture and the family recognizes this comments. I recently had a stroke about 5 months ago and I'm not trying to be rude in any sense of the word but I was wondering if there's any way that Chris could send me some sort of comfort box as I'm in a skilled nursing home now while I'm learning to get my Reading Writing and speech skills back I don't mean to be a bother to anyone. I love this family so much and they have been so dear to always recognize my comments. My email address is Suzannegoetz303@gmail.com and my number is 816-401-1268. I hope that you could reach out and perhaps ask and again I do not mean to be a bother and if nothing can be done there's no problem with that at all God bless you and have a great day. Sincerely, Suzanne Goetz.
