International Women’s Day 2023: Sisterhood

Today is International Women’s Day, and the Sisterhood group for women and non-binary folk from marginalised backgrounds have contributed a poem to mark the event.

Sisterhood is love, food and laughter,
Women supporting women and not bringing each other down,
Smile empower each other with positive support. 😊
We have to make assessments but not judgements ,
Except to be kind and compassionate,
Always be kind and smile!
Life is a journey however we meet people that have a positive impact on us,
And leave a loving memory in the inner depth of the heart.
I am who I am,
I don’t have to change to fit in this world where everything seems normal,
Making us normal.
Sex! Sex! Sex!
Talk about it! Talk about it! Talk about it!
My body feels light when I dance and I smile,
It brings me fun, joy and excitement,
Dancing is my happy place to escape to.
Be your bright beautiful self and be proud,
Read and learn – be a proud strong woman.
