The Importance of Equality Every Day

-






International Women's Day is an important reminder of the progress towards gender equality. However, I believe every day should be an opportunity to treat all people, regardless of gender, with respect and fairness. Gender equality should be a part of everyday life, whether at work, at home, or in society. 🤝🌍

I am a woman who started my career in law and now works as a senior sales professional. Over the years, I have faced challenges, but I have learned that the quality of my work, my skills, experience, and perspective, is what matters most. By focusing on my expertise and delivering results, I have succeeded despite any barriers. 💼👩‍💼

Feminism, as it was originally defined, seems outdated. Today, we should focus on equality and mutual respect, valuing people for their skills and contributions, regardless of gender. This creates an environment where everyone can thrive. My success has come from my dedication to my work, not my gender. 💪🏽📈

While gender imbalances still exist, I have found that what I can control, my work ethic, skills, and professionalism, enables me to overcome challenges. Competence, creativity, and vision should not be defined by gender; it is the value we bring to the table that counts. 




Respect for everyone is about fairness and equal opportunity. Equality benefits everyone, and when we create an environment where all people have equal opportunities, society becomes stronger. Gender equality is not just about women; it is about ensuring equal opportunities for all. ⚖️🤗

Every day should be about mutual respect, challenging outdated norms, and promoting equality. While International Women’s Day is important, it should be part of an ongoing effort toward gender equality. 💬🌱

In conclusion, making every day a celebration of equality may seem idealistic, but it is worth striving for. We should aim for a world where everyone is respected, valued, and empowered, regardless of gender. Every day should be a celebration of equality, and together, we can make that vision a reality. 🙌🌟

Let me know your thoughts! What does equality look like to you? How can we make sure it’s practiced every day? Let’s talk! 💬👇

The Quiet Battle Before the Scan

As someone living with a BRCA1 mutation, there is a certain weight that comes before each screening. Next month, it’s time for my ovarian cancer check, and no matter how many times I do it, the feelings never really settle. It’s a quiet kind of fear, one that creeps into your chest when you least expect it. The scan is routine, yet the thoughts are anything but. At 35, deciding to remove my breasts felt like a clear choice. It was hard, yes, but it was also something I could act on. I had control; I could do something. But this, this is different. Ovarian cancer screening is less precise, less certain, and the preventative option, surgery, means losing something I am still holding out hope for: motherhood. I’m in my early 40s now. People often ask if I want children, and the answer is yes, I still do. But it is a complicated yes. Every year I delay risk-reducing surgery, I carry the knowledge that my risk remains. And every year I think, maybe just a little more time. Maybe one more ch...
