Women's History Month!

Happy Women's History Month!

Read some fabulous books to your children to celebrate women.  Here are just a few of our favorites:

Marching With Aunt Susan

I am Rosa Parks

Vision of Beauty

Tough Chicks

My Name is Not Isabella

Madam President

Moses:  When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom


This is also a great time to purchase/borrow books on female self-esteem and confidence.  A few of our favorites include:

Dotty

Beautiful Brown Eyes

Me I Am!

Star of the Week

I Like Myself!  (Just saw an interview featuring Viola Davis who read this book to baby, Gensis, she recently adopted)



Other ideas:

• Celebrate Biblical women, modern women, women who impacted Black history (or whatever race your child is)---talk about powerful women who have done great things.
• Find out women who pioneered in a field your child is interested in (sports, science, teaching, etc.).   
• Talk about the women in your family and how they have made you a better person.
• Write a letter to a woman you admire and send it to her.
• Take gifts to women at local nursing homes.
• Using popular magazines or the Internet to print pictures, create a posterboard of powerful women (or cheaper than buying a posterboard is using a cardboard box you already have).   I love getting Essence magazine which regularly profiles fabulous women of color. 

Just do something to celebrate being a phenomenal woman and show your daughter(s) that women can be powerful, influential, and confident beings.

How do you plan to celebrate Women's History Month?  I'd love more ideas!
