Mar 07, 2020

In this week’s episode, we are celebrating International Women's Day!!!!

This year (2020), the IWD theme is #EachforEqual.

From the IWD: International Women's Day Website:

An equal world is an enabled world.

Individually, we're all responsible for our own thoughts and actions - all day, every day.

We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women's achievements.

Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender-equal world.

Let's all be #EachforEqual.
