Thank You Female Product Companies For Normalizing Human
I was born in 1990. In May, smack dab early mid-year. I am quite LITERALLY the definition of a '90's' kid. I don't remember a lot of commercials from when I was younger, but I do know that growing up women in media were photoshopped, sculpted, and molded to be Barbie perfect.

I am late entering this challenge, because I thought long and hard which woman has inspired me the most. I chose this person because I genuinely believe she deserves recognition for her outstanding skills and character in the face of adversity: Stanislawa Leszczyńska. She was a Polish midwife who was incarcerated in Auschwitz in 1943. She attended many births during that time. 3,000 babies were born under her care.
Sam The Doula (Blooming Miracle)Published 2 months ago in VivaWomen Know Hockey, Stop Pretending They Don't
Gather 'round, readers! Today is International Women's Day, and I have a story to tell. In 2014, I watched and followed the hockey games from that year's Winter Olympics. I watched the US men's team reach the semifinals of the tournament, which are the medal rounds. We faced Canada. We lost to Canada, because of course we do. So we had to play for Bronze. We faced off against Finland. Finland beat us like we stole something. A 6-0 loss in the Bronze Medal Game, while Canada defeated Sweden to get the Gold.

I remember going to get Chinese food after church every Sunday as a kid and I would obsess over the fact that my animal according to the Chinese calendar was the dragon. As a little girl, I remember thinking I was special because I was the most mystic of all the creatures! Anyone born in the year of 1988 was the year of the dragon, and so an animal represents each new year. The order of the animal signs is fixed, with the dragon being the fifth in the cycle, therefore the “Year of the Dragon” is 2024.
Natasha CollazoPublished 3 months ago in VivaWhat Is A Woman?
When I see videos like the one below with Charlie Kirk persistently asking college students one question, "What is a woman?" and students stumbling to answer or seemingly not able to give him an answer that would satisfy his inquisitive mind, as a teacher I'm baffled.
Lana V LynxPublished 5 months ago in VivaIs Personal Agency Only for the Young?
I am angry. This week I was Threading through Threads and came across a post from a woman that said, among other things: "How can I make my mother stop coloring her hair and just go grey? She's 62 and not fooling anyone; she and her friends are old and it's time that she acts her age."

Rebecca MortonPublished 6 months ago in VivaIntroducing the New Article Series: "The Ugly Truth About Fat" (working title)
Lately, I've been in a particularly deep depression and shame spiral. There are many causes and many things that are worsening the situation, but somehow, in my mind, everything that goes badly in my life seems invariably tied into my weight.

Title: Goodbye, Lasting Memories That day, the wind blew gently through my hair as I sat on the beach. The waves lapped in front of me, creating a calm atmosphere. But, my heart is not as beautiful as the atmosphere around me. I held a piece of paper, trying to write down the last words for him.
Riham Rat MurtiPublished 3 days ago in VivaCracking the Code of Stress: A Career Woman's Guide to Wellness
Some would agree that two kinds of women are in the white-collar working environment. The people who finish a job. Furthermore, the individuals who pursue a career. A few points are common to both. The assumption for a pay worthy of their time, designation, for one. The need to get ahead, for another. In any case, when it comes to performance, the gap yawns wide. The work holder works since she has some job, frequently drifting through it, doing the necessary whatever, and trusting at times to get away with even not exactly the minimum expected of her.

Bill TavernerPublished 7 days ago in VivaHow Sustainability Can Drive Customer Engagement and Loyalty in 2024
The consumer market today is highly aware of the greenwashing and dishonesty in a brand and they prefer buying their products from establishments that support the growth of sustainability and authenticity in their core principles. As many as 73 per cent of consumers are willing to pay extra for sustainable products, and they prefer to purchase from sustainable brands, according to a recent First Insight report. Younger consumers are also more likely to base their purchases on social, environmental, and personal values. They are the ones bringing about this change and are vocal about selecting brands that share their values. Prioritizing sustainability helps brands win over these morally minded customers and future-proof their operations.
