Women’s Empowerment Tag

October 29, 2018

Hello! This post is a little late but I’m taking part in the Women’s Empowerment Tag! This was created by the lovelies at My Lifelines. You can see their post about the tag (here)!

 

 

What does women empowerment mean to you?

To me, it means knowing your strengths and not being afraid to use them to achieve whatever your goals are. The sky is the limit and only you are in control of your own life!

 

What woman/women do you most admire? Why?

I immediately thought of Malala Yousafzai! She was shot by Taliban gunmen for standing up for education equality in Pakistan. Even in that critical state she still continued fighting for girls’ education globally and received the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize!! She also fought for things like overall world peace and gender equality. Total icon for women empowerment right here!

 

Share with us a story, drawing, or video that you think says “empowered women.”

I have to go with a classic.

 

Share with us the best lesson you’ve learned in leadership.

Lead by example. You can’t expect anyone to follow after you if can only talk the talk but not walk the walk! You need to be living proof that something works or is a good idea. SO JUST DO IT!

Don’t blow off someone’s idea just because it’s not your own! A good leader isn’t successful just because of his / her own ideas alone, but rather the leader is open to new ideas that work and can easily adapt. Just because someone has a good idea doesn’t mean you’re being dethroned, so don’t act TOO high and mighty!

 

What cause do you most want to bring awareness to? Why?/What does it mean to you?

Girls Who Code!! (https://girlswhocode.com/) Technology is typically a male-dominant field, this group aims to close that gender gap. Girls Who Code is a community and movement in the United States whose goal is to achieve gender parity in Computer Science. This includes several avenues of support like meetups, clubs, and mentorships!

I think this is very important because computer science is HARD (in my opinion) and the majority of the students in class are male. I took CS initially when I was a freshman in college. It can get intimidating and the help I was getting from a male classmate somehow was different from a female classmate. I didn’t end up pursuing CS but regardless, it’s important to have more support for female students in this field so they don’t feel completely alone and are more encouraged to go on and fulfill their dreams in technology!! 💪

    Love this tag and I love your answers! The bit about leading by example struck a chord with me because I always try to do this and it something that was really pushed when I worked for my previous employer, yet I’ve still encountered so many “leaders” who don’t do it. I’ve always found them to be bad leaders and it made me realise how important it really is to lead by example.

      Thank you Paula! I think Rosie the Riveter is amazing and classic ๐Ÿ™‚ People shouldn’t bother trying to set such high standards for everyone else to follow if the can’t do it !

    What a great tag! My previous job was in IT and it was such a male-dominant place to work at, as well afterwards I then started to do courses in programming and so many of the job interviews I went to for this field there was hardly any women. Although whilst I was working within an IT company we did start to get more women joining – so perhaps it is slowly changing to be more equal!

      Oh wow! I didn’t know you did IT! It’s so overwhelmingly filled with male coworkers. I am sure now there are more women in the field ๐Ÿ˜€ Yay!!!

    I agree with you on that its important to walk the talk. You can’t be someone who gives advice but doesn’t even use it themselves, this was a great point! Really liked your responses <3

Instagram post 2193013649625829009_8449951751 My @skylar fragrances came in the mail and I am so excited to use them ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ I used some of the money I earned from work study at my college to treat myself to new perfume. Skylar is great because it's vegan and cruelty free. It's also hypoallergenic which is a plus because some people I know are allergic to fragrances so I can actually wear this around them without worrying that they'll have a reaction. ๐Ÿ‘ I tried their samplers before deciding on these two. .

Instagram post 2191526804677047615_8449951751 Walking under these trees make me feel like Olaf or something โ˜ƒ๏ธ.
.
The trees are covered with ice and sparkle in the sun which makes them look so pretty and dreamy but it's caused a lot of branch breakage from the weight ๐Ÿ˜”
.
My neighborhood finally got power but the water is still kinda dirty so I'm hoping it'll get better by the time I get home so I can shower! .
I was thinking of having a blog post sharing my black Friday goods but.. Some of them aren't even here yet ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜ญ I'll think of something else. Speaking of the blog, do you ever just get into the mode where you're just writing just to have something in the blog? I feel bad but I don't know, I'm just not feeling very into it right now and I hate that. I want to get more into the blog but I'm so distracted between my school work and even trying to research study for my online shop that the blog is admittedly in the back seat. What do you do when this happens to you?

Instagram post 2190891882278898736_8449951751 Hope you guys are having a good Tuesday! I woke up in the cold because we lost power overnight due to all the snow... Apparently we won't get our power back until 11pm tonight (**nooooo**)! If that does indeed happen, I think I'm just gonna go to the mall. But at least the scenery is pretty right? WRONG. I'd rather have my heat and electricity than a pretty view ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ

How was your Thanksgiving?! Hope you all had your stuffing and turkey or whatever dish you had! I actually had scallion pancakes and sweet pork buns for appetizers and seafood as the main course. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘ I got to spend it with my cousins here and my one cousin who is visiting the US for the first time ๐Ÿฅบ I haven't seen her in over a decade and I feel like it's almost two decades. I'm so glad we got to catch up even if it was a little bit. I'm thankful I didn't feel that much awkwardness despite having been away from the Philippines in so long. I told her when I visit the Philippines I'll have to make her my tour guide cause I don't remember anything at all from the Philippines ๐Ÿคฃ
.
I'm going shopping with my mom today, and I'm hoping the lines have gone down a bit now that it's later in the morning. I am happy to say that I've been able to snag a Blue Yeti microphone online and a Cricut machine before the black Friday rush. I just have to look for plain hoodies and shirts for Victor so I can make him custom tees with it!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ค
