You are a strong, powerful woman.

Believe in yourself.

You can do good in the world.

Acknowledge your power.

You can transform reality.

Confess the force of your dreams.

Sisters, daughters, mothers, grandmothers… I acknowledge your power.

I love your grace, your passion.

Without you, we would not breathe.

The lioness is the power of her tribe.

I see the strength in the eyes of women and girls.

I see the deep compassion and the mercy and the love.

We need women to advocate for themselves.

When someone tells you to be quiet — don’t comply. Women’s voices need to be heard. We are the ones who advocate for humanity. We are the ones who will risk everything to save the life of a child. Or a sister or brother.

Women, be strong.

To be feminine is to be powerful. When they try to silence you, do not let them steal your joy.

Let your voice be heard, do not be stifled.

I wish to hear your songs pierce the darkness. I wish to see your light.
