Jenna Doolittle Instagram – ✨Grateful that I’m empowered everyday by so many strong women in my life. 💪 Thanks for nominating me @shannonbillscoaching @annnorthernjones @heidi.schultz 💕 Just a reminder women can be smart, funny, crass, ridiculous, compassionate, strong, independent, flirtatious, emotional, sexual, wild, warm, silly & so much more all at the same time. ❤️ Pic by one of the best female empowerment advocates @beccamurrayphoto 😘#womenempowerment #femininity #challengeaccepted #womensupportingwomen
—————-UPDATE————-
I’ve since educated myself on the origin of this challenge & I hope you will too.
From what I understand it was started by women in Turkey as a response to them being frustrated over always seeing black and white photos of women who have been killed. The original Turkish hashtags referencing domestic violence and femicide were sadly dropped as the challenge gained momentum. Of course female empowerment (including womanx, trans & all who identify as female) is so important, but we must be aware of the original intent of these posts & help educate ourselves & others about the atrocities & violence happening to women across the globe.
———-Another UPDATE————
This challenge apparently did not originate with the Turkish women’s stories as I posted above, but regardless that’s all true & I am grateful to have learned more about what’s happening to women in Turkey & ways to support. It apparently originated with AOC’s remarks & has been used in the past for cancer awareness/support. Regardless, we womenx clearly needed it! | Posted on 28/Jul/2020 03:01:42
