But don't forget the girls. The wonderful speeches given by the young girls in Black Mountain NC last Saturday were thoughtful and well delivered. These are the leaders who will raise the next generations of women. Thanks so much to their mothers, sisters, aunts, teachers, grandmothers, and all the men who support their growth.
Take a moment to enjoy one of these videos just to see what they had to say. I am. I was late coming to the march (as I mentioned in my blog before) and missed seeing most of these young women in person. I'm so glad they were videoed by Katie Hanning.

A big thank you to Sarah Vekasi and other friends who helped organize the Black Mountain Women's March of 2020.
I know going to links is not what you usually want to do...but these girls are AMAZING!
Sarah gave a bit of background when she shared Katie Hanning's videos on FaceBook:
"Here are all the speeches our organizers gave at the 2020 Black Mountain Women’s March. Each kid researched and wrote their own speech. Rough drafts were due in mid December and we practiced them multiple times before the actual march. Their poise, power, creativity, and intellect is all their own. So impressive! Watch, listen, be inspired, and share. "
