As we are celebrating Women’s History Month this March, think about the strong women in your life and honor them by giving them a shout-out. It could be a relative, a friend, a mentor, a colleague, or someone you are admiring for her inspirational life and accomplishments. A role model for girls and women.
Send her a card, a letter, a text or give her a call to let her know that you are celebrating and honoring her this month. An additional way to honor Women’s History Month is by donating to a female-centered charity.
