5 Tips for Empowering the Woman of the Day

Hello my beautiful people! I hope life has been treating you well recently. I wanted to speak on something that touches my heart - empowering women. Everywhere you look, you see women who need to be uplifted by others. Women come from all walks of life and various backgrounds are expected to do so much by society. Whether that be at at home, work, or in your community, extending a hand to someone is important.

Let's explore five applicable tips for empowering remarkable women around us.

1. Highlight Diverse Achievements

Women are doing amazing things every day, which often gets overlooked. Whether their achievements are in business, science, law, or any other section, it's important to celebrate their successes.

Most of the time, it's expected for women to be successful in their career and at home. Balancing a million things can be stressful, but when she does something incredible, do something about it! This can look like telling someone "You're doing fantastic!", sharing it with your friends, or even posting about it on social media. Celebrate women's accomplishments, whether they're groundbreaking innovations, acts of service, or personal triumphs. Let's do our best to make sure women know their achievements don't go unrecognized!

Here's Abi Hearts! She is a corporate lawyer and a mother of two, but often feels under appreciated and overwhelmed. At times, Abi stops believing in herself because balancing a job and taking care of her kids is extremely tiring.

However, a colleague came up to her and applauded her for her engaging presentations at work. This made Abi feel accomplished, knowing her efforts don't go unnoticed. You can gift her to someone who may need to hear that they're doing amazing. 

2. Tell Their Stories

Each and every single one of us has different memories, experiences, and emotions. But what brings us all together? Storytelling. This goes beyond a simple bio. It's quite mind-blowing how women who share their stories not only inspire those listening, but express how they were able to overcome obstacles and become successful.

Easy ways to share your story is through podcasts, social media, or even just talking to someone. Being vocal about your story allows us to not only honor you, but be encouraged if we are going through something similar. This creates a personal connection and encourages sympathy. Don't be afraid, just speak up!

Here's  Lily Lyon! She's a well-known influencer who advocates for women and speaks about her own life. She understands the obstacles women face every day, and hopes to uplift them through social media. As a result, numerous women felt inspired and were hopeful about their own lives. You can gift her to someone who may need to be empowered or need an extra hand of support.

3. Amplify Women's Voices

It is extremely easy to ignore a women's voice or speak over them, especially in places where it is male-dominated. Instead, let's amplify women's voices! Allow women to be able to share her thoughts, opinions, and advice. Simple ways to do so is by acknowledging what they're saying, agreeing with them in a meeting, and encouraging them to speak up.

By uplifting women and their voices, we make sure they are heard and valued. Let her story be told in her own words.

Here's  Lotsoflove! She feels that people don't listen to her during monthly meetings at work, leaving her feeling frustrated and hurt. One day, while speaking during a meeting, Lots of love boss was actively listening while she  was talking. Lotsoflove  felt immensely appreciated and knew that if it wasn't for her boss, she still would have felt sad. You can gift her to someone who just wants to be listened to or just because!

4. Inspire  you and Others

Inspiration comes from within. It is essential for women to share their journey because it may be exactly what someone needs to hear. If women share their stories, they can inspire other people while breaking barriers.

This can be something as simple as a touching conversation or something more like being inspirational on social media. Know your words matter and can truly help someone strive for greatness!

Here's  Fine Finchley! She spends most of her time supporting women through one-on-one conversations. Finchley wouldn't call herself a therapist, but would say she's more of an advocate. You can find her at coffee shops, local restaurants, or even the marketplace. With Finchley, she wants to make sure the woman is comfortable so any location is fine with her. You can gift her to someone who just wants to be heard and loved.

5. Create a Community

Building a community with women supporting one another is honestly one of the best ways to empower women. This can look like a group of friends, a local group, or even a social media groupchat. Within a supportive community, women can offer each other advice, suggestions, and resources. Doing so reminds women that they're never alone and are always uplifted.

Here's Audrie Adorable Accra! She hosts bi-weekly events for her local community, which focuses on women who need support. She's aware everyone has different experiences and feelings, and wants to be an aid. Within her local group, she provides helpful feedback and resources to women who seek support.
