Unleashing Brilliance

Why I'm sick of International Women's Day


Listen Later

I’m going to say it: I’m sick of International Women's Day. Now, don’t get me wrong - I believe in what it stands for. I’m ferociously passionate about empowering and bettering the lives of the women in my community. 

However, International Women’s Day, in my opinion, has become a predictable parade of pink cupcakes, corporate panels and unpaid speaking requests. While the day's core mission of empowering women remains crucial, the annual flood of hashtags and feel-good messages isn't creating the systemic change we desperately need. 

Today, I’m talking about how real progress demands action, not just awareness. This means actively calling out injustice, voting for policies that prioritise women's rights and most importantly, fighting for our most vulnerable sisters.

So join me as we explore breaking free from superficial gestures and using our voices to demand change that builds a new, inclusive foundation for every woman and girl.
