Proud to be a Woman

Tomorrow March 8 will be International Women’s Day, although I’m not waiting for a special day to celebrate us, as my Superwomen Series can attest, I obviously wanted to share this pride with you this week.

The very first one took place in 1909 in the United States, however it’s in 1977 that the United Nations officialised this day.

During the vows of my Solo Wedding in Santorini, I had a thought for all women, and I said:
"A thought for all young ladies, women, spouses, mothers around the world, being a woman is our strength."

If we are many to be sure of it, let's use this day to let the world know it!

Sexism, misogyny, discrimination, violence and torture will never silence our voices, because there’ll always be another woman to testify, protect, claim.

Sisterhood is very real, women who support each other, but not only, many men who are also by our side. So, thank you to all those who fought for us, who do so today, and to all who’ll fight for our children.
And in memory of them, today I’d like to speak of an exceptional woman, a woman with an immense courage and a limitless audacity: Joséphine Baker.
​
She was born American (in 1906) but died French (in 1975).

Her real name was Freda Josephine McDonald, woman of colour, in a racist and divided America, she was involved in every fight as a: woman, artist, resistant, mother and activist.

Attracted by dance and cabaret from a very young age, and to escape poverty, at 14 she danced in a troupe, then at 16 left for New York, it was finally in 1925, spotted by a rich American woman who puts on a show in France - the Revue Nègre - that she arrives in Paris. Her success was immediate.

Avant-garde, she didn't care about conventions and followed her convictions; the first international Black star, she sung all over the world, and she used her fame many times to defend what seemed right to her.

Thus, she helped the French Resistance during the Second World War, later, she militated against racism in the world. Therefore, she adopted 12 children of different nationalities.

She was also, alongside Martin Luther King for the Civil Rights Movement.

No matter what you want to do in life, believe in yourself and in your dreams ...

As a child, my great friend Barbie helped me build myself, and yes, we can be a feminist and love Barbies!

One of my favourites was Barbie Business with her pink suit and briefcase. At 6 years old I dreamed of being a businesswoman as much as a princess, we have every right to be all.

I’d like to remind here, an intelligent woman can also be beautiful and attractive!!

Today the brand goes even further, and many jobs are represented, including firefighter, astronaut, engineer, airplane pilot ...

"I am proud to be a woman and I refuse to be a victim."  L.

French law prohibits me from freezing my oocytes, I went to Spain. I would not let men decide my life. It belongs to me just like my body.

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
