"Inspire Inclusion" - the theme for 2024's International Women's Day - carries a unique weight for Black women. Persistently overlooked, they've shattered glass ceilings and become leaders across fields.
From trailblazers like Marie-Joseph Angélique, Chloe Cooley, Harriet Tubman, Mary Ann Shadd, Viola Desmond, Rosemary Brown, Dr. Mary McCarthy Brandt and many others who fought for civil rights, to contemporary icons like Dr. Lloydetta Quaicoe, Damilola Ajibade, Isabelle Hebie, Doyin Somorin, Hillary LeBlanc, Takia Panza-Benjamin, Tamara Steele, Alexandra Falibois, Charlene Carr and many more who redefine excellence, They navigate challenges with grace and unwavering strength.
This day, let's celebrate their immense contributions. Let's amplify their voices, champion their successes, and dismantle barriers. Empowering Black women empowers the future.
We commit to action, standing with them and creating a world where their brilliance shines. Today, and every day, we celebrate Black Women in Atlantic Canada - a vibrant tapestry of changemakers who inspire us all.
