I can feel your fire coming through your words! All feminists need to reach out beyond our previous networks now and support both collective and individual actions. This is a critical time for us and for all girls. You're evoking the involvement of others by sharing your experiences. Brava!

Wow. I needed to hear this. Thank you for putting a name to why I've been struggling to write AND why we need to keep pushing forward anyway.

I love this post of yours today, Jo-Ann! You have so many important things to say. And briefer is better. Our reading time is so limited! Thank you!

When I get to read your arguments and thoughts, you inspire my arguments to shape the future, to hold conversations to challenge the people around me. Your words matter tremendously.

As you put it:

Even in the darkest times, words plant seeds.

They shift perspectives.

They challenge injustices.

They spark movements.
