Saghar Setarehさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Saghar SetarehInstagram)「I normally NEVER join chain letters nor spread them around, but for this one I made an exception. If you see black and white portraits of women on Instagram today, it's because another woman has sent them a message, saying “hey, I see you, you're fabulous and you're doing an amazing job, keep shining like that.” Or something like this. The core is women empowering other women. Thank you @kaminmohammadi and @_realdom_ for inviting me #ChallengeAccepted! Please feel free to join or invite women you admire. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there's anyone out there who needs to read this today, I’m also sharing this paragraph from @elizabeth_gilbert_writer's Big Magic about the one of the biggest enemies of women: Perfectionism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “There are many reasons why women’s voices and visions are not more widely represented today in creative fields. Some of that exclusion is due to regular old misogyny, but it’s also true that—all too often—women are the ones holding themselves back from participating in the first place. Holding back their ideas, holding back their contributions, holding back their leadership and their talents. Too many women still seem to believe that they are not allowed to put themselves forward at all, until both they and their work are perfect and beyond criticism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meanwhile, putting forth work that is far from perfect rarely stops men from participating in the global cultural conversation. Just sayin’. And I don’t say this as a criticism of men, by the way. I like that feature in men—their absurd overconfidence, the way they will casually decide, “Well, I’m 41 percent qualified for this task, so give me the job!” Yes, sometimes the results are ridiculous and disastrous, but sometimes, strangely enough, it works—a man who seems not ready for the task, not good enough for the task, somehow grows immediately into his potential through the wild leap of faith itself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I only wish more women would risk these same kinds of wild leaps.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #sisterhood #feminism #girlpower #womenempoweringwomen ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀」7月28日 7時38分
