In the words of stellar tennis player Serena Williams: 'Every woman's success should be an inspiration to another. We're strongest when we cheer each other on'. It doesn't just need to be during Women's Month that we add fuel to our fellow women's fire. Supporting and lifting each other can be as small as giving a tampon or lending your lipstick. Here are seven simple ways to support the women in your life:
1 SHOW UP
Whether it's sending a daily check-in text, being a shoulder to cry on, calling your mother, supporting a female-owned business or just being open and welcoming to a stranger - be an advocate. If you hear a woman sobbing in the bathroom stall next to yours, give her a tissue or ask her if she'd like to talk to someone. Extend a very soft, fluffy, warm olive branch to any and every woman.
2 CREATE THE ENVIRONMENT
