Mainly for the past year or two there has been so much talk about women empowerment and the rise of women empowerment luncheons and events which is so amazing when done with the right intentions. But people forget to talk about how you can support girls and women when there is no event happening and just on a day to day basis. I’m not saying that you have to go do it for women you don’t know (it would be amazing if we could get to that point), but you can start out with supporting the women in your family or your friends. Support doesn’t only have to be purchasing something if they have a business or they are selling something, but it can be as simple as asking how are they really doing (how do they feel mentally, physically, and emotionally), being a listening ear for them, asking them how that new business is going, reposting something on social media, offering to watch their kids for a couple hours so they can get a break, going over just to hang out and much more.

Support can come in so many different facets, big or small. You have to make it known what type of friends you are looking for and what type of friend you are willing to be. When we support and uplift each other so many amazing things can happen. Something just as simple as giving another woman a compliment as you bypass her on the street can brighten someone’s day and doesn’t take anything from you. There is power and amazing energy in us when we are able to genuinely shine a light on each other. Support women no matter if you know them or not, remember that support doesn’t have to be extravagant some times it’s the small things that count especially when they didn’t know they needed it. So many others pick us apart in our day to day lives and in the media that we may as well bad together and hold each other up.
