What does it mean to be a superhero? What does it mean to be a superhero, in today’s world, in 2021?
Can women be their own superhero? Can we unchain from society’s expectations and pave our path? I believe we can and I believe we always have. Even though we have been conditioned to “smile” and apologize incessantly and unwarrantedly, there is a strength that women possess that is unlike any superhero we have witnessed in the movies. Our bodies, our intuition, our heightened sense of awareness is a superpower.
Can women really be superheroes?
Hint: They already are. And, they always have been.
