I see how deeply patriarchy is ingrained — not just in systems, but in how women think about themselves. How we shrink, compromise, second-guess our own power. And I ask myself — what am I doing to change that?
The truth is, I may not have a loud platform. But I do have something powerful: awareness, intention, and the will to break the cycle.
Every time I choose to chase my dreams, even when it’s hard…
Every time I speak up in uncomfortable moments…
Every time I listen to my own voice more than society’s noise…
I am resisting.
I am slowly building a version of womanhood where ambition and softness coexist. Where love doesn’t limit dreams. Where we don’t apologize for taking up space.
I want to live in a world where young girls don’t have to unlearn the things I did.
And if that world doesn’t exist yet — I want to help build it.
Because I’m not just living for myself.
I’m living for every girl who has ever been told she’s “too much.”
And I’ll keep becoming the woman I once needed to see.
