12 Feminist Holiday Gifts Empowering Women
Building Female Empowerment Through Creation
Empowering a woman can have ripple effects in the community and country, no matter where she lives. This year has been about rising with our female counterparts, examining how we as women can lift one another up to honor our own unique stories and allow for our influential voices to be heard.
Each one of these feminist gifts was created with intention, love and with an end goal to celebrate our shared bond as women and people.
