Inspiration to keep going- IWD 2020

Some people will say that I was lucky. That I had all the opportunities in my life to become a strong and powerful woman. Some will say that society was already at a place where I could grow and prosper as a woman in a male dominated field and industry. Some will say that the obstacles that I have faced were not at all related to me being a female. Some will say that the door was wide open and all I had to do was to go through it.

Maybe they are not totally wrong, perhaps they are a bit right.

My life journey is certainly a great one, and I certainly had to work through it. I was faced with situations where I was certainly at a disadvantage because I was a woman. 

My journey was however made a lot easier because of all the great woman leaders that came before me. Only to name a few, I am thinking of Harriet Tubman I recently discovered. I think of Oprah Winfrey, Marie Curie, Queen Elizabeth, Amelia Earhart, only to name a few.

I owe it also to the great women that surround me in my life, and have inspired me to keep pushing through the sometimes uncomfortable situation, vulnerable conversations. 

My journey has been great, and I am very proud of it. There are still some challenges ahead, and some situations where I will feel out of place, but I owe it to all those who came before me, and all those women that will come after me, to keep going and show up!
