đž International Womenâs Day đž
Today, I honor the strength, wisdom, and beauty of women everywhere. Each woman carries within her a unique light, the power to create, nurture, transform, and inspire.
My journey has taught me that when a woman reconnects with her inner peace and her true essence, she becomes an incredible force of love, clarity, and positive change in the world. When we support one another, uplift each other, and celebrate our individuality, we create a powerful collective energy.
Every woman deserves to be sovereign, respected, and safe. Violence in any form is never acceptable. While we often speak about violence coming from men, it can also come from women.
Today, I also feel it is time for me to share another personal story: the physical violence I experienced from my fatherâs second wife. I regret that I did not file a complaint at the time.
By speaking about it, I hope it may encourage other women to find the courage to speak out and feel safer.
I am also encouraged to see that some abusive men are finally being held accountable thanks to the courage of women who have started to speak out. Their voices are helping truth and justice come to light.
If you are facing violence - from anyone - please speak out. Do not stay silent. Dare to raise your voice. Your voice matters. Your safety matters. You deserve protection, dignity, and peace. By speaking out and holding harmful people accountable, we help create safer communities and safer spaces for everyone.
Also dare to listen to your body and your feelings. Being sovereign begins with feeling safe and respected when someone speaks to you. If certain words hurt you, if something feels wrong, your body often knows it before your mind does. When you feel that discomfort but do not dare to say anything, that is the moment to gently honor your truth and speak up - even with people who may seem closed or unwilling to listen.
By speaking up and refusing to tolerate abuse, we help ensure that harmful people lose their power - and together we build safer communities. With love and gratitude to all the inspiring women in my life and around the world. Olivia đđžđ
