Before Women’s History Month comes to end we want to celebrate not only ourselves but the amazing women in our lives and community. Acknowledging the greatness of women throughout history is not limited to one month but during this time we want to take a special moment with this video. And as the great poet Maya Anelgou once said remember:

“I’m a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That’s me.” — "Phenomenal Woman"
