international Day Of The Girl 2020

Today is the International Day of the Girl 2020. It's not lost on me that yesterday was Mental Health Day. Since 2012, this day was set aside to recognize the plight of girls around the world. Often, poverty, opportunity,  and lack of education subject young girls to a substantial loss of their rights and freedoms. At a very young age, studies have shown an education and self-esteem gap between boys and girls in the US. Atrocities against girls are often documented but aren't publicized or prosecuted.  As a young woman, I have often advocated on the behalf of children. I am utterly amazed at the things people do to express their beliefs. Protests have gone from ridiculous to sublime. Their impact is as wavering as their causes. People are so full of vitriol that they are burning their property to prove a point. To no one surprise, this move has triggered tremendous press and condemnation. It's sad to think in 2020 that people are most upset about masks rather than peaceful protest of the rampant violence against black and brown people. Rather than fighting each other, what are we leaving for the next generation? What lessons are they learning from our behavior? We're moving backwards and causing folks to reminisce about times past. Is this their passion? No, they are followers of a trend that can only dive into a deeper spiral. I choose to go high with this and mentor those who come to me for help.  I support other women and often post their successes.  But now I'm continuing to support corporate sponsors who buck trends and stand on the right side of history. I wonder what will be written about this socially impactful movement. Until then, I will still support worthy causes and continue to reach my goal of living my best life. The purple life. What do you think? How do you feel? How are you supporting the girls and women in your life? How are you promoting their mental and physical health? Share your comments below. Thanks for stopping by. Take Care and God Bless!!!
