Empowering Quotes to Ignite Your Girl Power
NOTE: This post is sponsored by HarperCollins.
In TBH, You Know What I Mean, Cecily is getting sick of the way boys are acting at school. With women’s rights trending and female activism more popular than ever, the boys are feeling a bit insecure. This causes them to act out for attention, leaving Cece feeling totally frustrated.
Rather than get angry, she channels her frustration into a super empowering Women’s History Month event at school. The big day ends up being a huge success that makes the news, but more importantly, teaches everyone – including the boys – about the importance of equality and celebrating the accomplishments of women.
