On International Women’s Day, we celebrate women leaders and achievers from across sectors, showcase the impact they have created.
Yet, one segment quietly recedes into the background…..
HOMEMAKERS! Women who have made a personal choice not to pursue active careers.
Their photos do not flash on the cover page of magazines or fill the social media feeds.
Yet, they are the backbone of our families, our communities and societies.
Today, I would like us respect their choice, bring them to the fore and salute them for their innumerable contributions:
– Nurturing the family: children, elders, spouse, siblings and even extended families
– Providing emotional support to family and friends
– Enabling others to advance in their studies, careers and pursue their dreams…
– Strengthening relationships, beyond the family for the family
– Owning their personal growth, be it hobbies, interests or other pursuits
And much more…..
Today, I salute the STAR of my life, the unsung SHERO – My mother, who has became a published author in her 70s.
Who is the SHERO of your life? Have you saluted her?
