A Mile In Her Shoes
Author's Note: I realize that, especially now, this is a sensitive topic for so many. I have no inclination to raise political arguments or thoughts. I am sharing the personal experience of what it is like to be a woman, from this woman's perspective, and how it feels to walk through this world ... afraid. For all of the men out there willing to listen, and all of the women who will relate, this is for you. 🖤

Which of these Stages of Awareness are YOU at in Your Life?
Sometimes I sit back and think about life; about my past, and the choices I’ve made. I smile when I remember the plans I had when I was young, and how with each year, those plans seem to change more and more.

International Women's Right
The International Women's Rights Action Watch (WRAW) organized in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya at the Third International Women's Conference to promote the recognition of women's rights under the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and other international human rights treaties. . IWRAW is based on the belief that the rights of women and girls are essential to promoting equality between women and men and that this can be achieved through international human rights policies and procedures. These treaties prevent discrimination based on sex and oblige countries to ensure the protection and implementation of women's rights in a property, non-violence, equal access to education, and participation in government.

In A Women’s Head
So, we are women. Big deal. Growing up, I remember just how different the world was. Well at least to women anyways. Y’all, I’m 26. I know what you’re thinking. Well, maybe not. “You’re so young!” I know. “What could you possibly have learned by 26.” And I always laugh about this, because let me tell you I have learned so much.

What is Like to be a Young, Black Women in America
In life, people are always thrown challenges that they need to overcome and move past to life on with one's life, but when a certain group of people have it much harder than others it can be much harder to move past. For example, African Americans on average have it much harder than other groups due to discrimination in the work place and also while during everyday tasks. Another group that are marginalized is women often there is a stigma that women are less than men and this can be reflected in one's pay in the work place and also discrimination regarding intelligence and other attributes. Lastly, the younger people of these groups are often undermined because of being young meaning that they do not know as much because they have not been around as long as other people have.
