Why did you choose this theme?
I chose this theme because I think it's essential to amplify narratives of strong and tenacious women who have overcome challenges and are vulnerable enough to share their stories. Diverse voices often go unheard, so this list can help you celebrate the remarkable achievements of women from backgrounds you may or may not relate to at first glance.

What I Got Wrong About My Parents’ Marriage
As one of the only Indian girls in her tiny Canadian mountain town, Natasha Singh stood out and she was unafraid of being different. At 13 years old, she shaved her head. By 17 years old, she had run away for good. A few years later, she came out to her mother. Natasha’s worldview was worlds apart from her very traditional immigrant parents. Now, decades after leaving home and watching her parents age together, Natasha reflects on a new understanding of her parents and an appreciation for the devotion they shared.
