Happy International Women’s Day! 🌍💜

Thank you to the incredible women who have joined us on The Matriarchy Podcast so far. Each conversation has been filled with insight, courage, and powerful stories that remind us how much we learn when women share their voices and experiences. 🎙️

Jenny Chan, Founder of Pacific Atrocities Education, reminds us that women’s experiences during war, genocide, and other atrocities are too often overlooked.

Thank you, Jenny, for sharing your powerful insight on Episode 20 of The Matriarchy Podcast.

Choosing just one person or topic feels impossible because the depth, resilience, activism, and contributions of Black Americans are vast and deserving of far more than a single post.

This history cannot be contained within 28 days.

It lives in every month, every movement, and every step toward progress.

From innovation and cultural influence to organizing, leadership, and community care, Black history is American history: past, present, and still unfolding.

Her election was historic, but it was also a reminder of how rare that breakthrough still is.

Women have led movements, communities, and entire branches of government. Yet the highest office in the land remains out of reach.

Glass ceilings don’t shatter themselves.

senator, California attorney general, and San Francisco district attorney. She has spent decades shaping national conversations on justice, healthcare, voting rights, and democracy itself.

President’s Day honors leadership.
So here’s the uncomfortable truth:

The United States has never elected a woman president.
In all our history, there has been just one woman vice president: Kamala Harris.

Before becoming vice president, Harris served as a U.S.

Her message could not be more timely.

Kimber also spoke powerfully about being tired of women being dismissed for the roles they play in helping others, especially children. Caregiving, community building, and compassion are not weaknesses. They are leadership 💪✨
