This international women's day I wanted to highlight the story of how my friend, Gelila Shewaye, started her business Lila Products and how she continues to empower and encourage me while fighting for the women in her home town. Empowerment is a two way street and one of the most empowering experiences of my life has been leaning into the injustices faced by women across the globe and trying to right those wrongs. While it can feel like we have to be "fully empowered" to start something, empowerment is something found along the way, often bestowed from one woman to another.
Thank you for celebrating international women's day with us at Interwoven Collective and for linking arms with us to support our friends across the globe. We couldn't do this without you.
