What a wonderful time of year.

Be sure to also give a special shout out to co-curators @stefaniatejada and @mitikafe 💜.
“Our curated vision for Women’s History Month will be all about people who push for change, who envision an open and forward-thinking idea of modern day female identity, and to highlight those historically who have been forgotten or unappreciated. We are also keen to pay attention to those living today that people will read about in the future and act as role models for those in the present.” — The PEACH Diaries
