The month of March is celebrated as Women’s History Month. This month is for celebrating women’s contribution to history and building of the modern society. We wanted to honor the mothers, mentors, and other special womxn and share their wisdom with you.
The World remembers powerful women who changed the course of history. We all honor the revolutionaries and suffragettes who fought hard for freedom and rights. We light candles for lives lost. It is their wisdom, courage, and mettle that weaved the fabric of heritage. However, we forget their role as mothers, mentors, wise counsel, and pillars of strength who help others grow and fly.
