Get it, girl. I love how women encourage and support other women. Maria requested this little custom note on her birthday tote and the message so resonant.
Recently I picked up Wolfpack by Abby Wombach and she says:
“Championing each other can be difficult for women because for so long we’ve been pitted against each other for the token seat at the table. Maintaining the illusion of scarcity is how power keeps competing for the singular seat at the old table, instead of building a new, bigger table.
“Scarcity has been planted inside of us and among us. This is not our fault – but it is our problem to solve. … .
“The Wolfpack’s belief is that scarcity is a lie. That power and success and joy are not pies. A bigger slice for one woman doesn’t mean a smaller slice for another. … We will celebrate the success of one woman as a collective success for all women.” 👏
I highly recommend reading Wolfpack. It is expansive and illuminating.
