International Women’s Day is today and all over the world women will be celebrated for the many things they do, the many things WE do. The day has gotten more recognized over the years, but can you believe that it’s been around since 1911?! As sad as it is that women are still fighting for equality in 2017, I appreciate the fact that we’re still fighting. Days like today unites us in a way that transcends race and culture. Even though our struggles vary, we can relate. Head over to Vogue.com for more on the history of International Women’s Day.

Also happening in the U.S. today is the “A Day Without A Woman” movement. The day aims to show the big and vital part that women play in everyday life, particularly in the economy. As I’m sure you know, a majority of women make the household spending decisions. Watch the video below for more details.
