The Future is Female!
Happy International Women’s Day wherever you are reading this. You are enough.
And on that note, I woke up wanting to highlight and share some of the amazing women you need to know in Paris. That I admire and love to see do their thing. I’ve given a bit of thought and wanted this to be an ongoing list – because damn – we need more than a day to do a woman’s work, so more than a day to celebrate, right?
This list if just the beginning, I want it to be a community effort – a little list for us to get to know and connect with each other. So also feel free to hit me up with some of your fave Parisian women (expats or locals) that are doing awesome stuff – of just being themselves that you admire!
As Maya Angelou so eloquently said :
“I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.”
