My whole life I have struggled to trust other women
From bullying to body shaming to slut-shaming other women
I heard girls saying things like,
I love her but she's a weirdo
she would be so much prettier without that hair
she's not that talented
she'll never make it.
These women, they are your sisters.
Your experience is of each other
If we are fighting for equality there has to be harmony
So, here's my letter to every woman who knows better than to scarlet letter their sister
to whisper or backstab a sister
There will be no progress in fighting for equality if we are marching in a different direction or correction
When we all march in discriminatory sections
We need to show up
Show up for each other
We can't afford to divide each other
Since the early days, we are taught to compare and compete with one another.
But the thing is...
You are not devalued
even if the woman next to you appears to be perfect
You are not devalued
if your sisters are achieving greatness
You are always of value
If you value you.
Take a look in the mirror and see yourself a little clearer
What type of women do you speak up for?
