Yesterday, at school drop-off, I saw a wall of collages called “Profile of Me” hanging outside Mazzy’s classroom. This is Mazzy’s collage. You’ll notice that along with a unicorn, a doughnut and a puppy is the word WARRIOR in large letters on the bottom. Well, WARIOR to be exact, but same thing. This word wasn’t just cut out of a magazine. It was so important to Mazzy that she cut out the letters to form the word herself. If you look closer and blow up the little red rectangle right above warrior, it says, “rising.” That’s what my daughter thinks of herself. Even at school, when I’m not there. She’s a “RISING WARRIOR.” When I was in fourth grade, I would have cut out unicorns and magic to represent myself too, but this language of empowerment is something new we are teaching this generation of girls. When the phrase “the future is female” became popular a few years ago, I loved it and used the hashtag, but I’m not sure I really believed it. Now, with an 8 year-old daughter, I see the impact of our words on how we are raising our girls. The promise is real. This morning, Mazzy walked into the kitchen as we were watching the news, which happened to be talking about how the Democrats didn’t gain control of the senate. She turned to me with a look of concern and said, “Mom, we’re losing.” I said, “Mazzy, you listen to me. Over 100 women were elected to represent us last night. That is more women winning than ever before in history. We are not losing. We are right on track.” #thefutureisfemale ?
