Why I Rise - Part 7


We have been reaching out far and near.
Local reporter for KUTV 2News Amanda Jones tell us "Why she is rising..." She speaks up with sincerity and sternness.
Amanda is a beautiful and strong woman. We are so lucky to have her in Salt Lake and have her support!!

She shares;
"I am rising for women to stand tall, free of judgement and being downcast. They tell us women have come so far, but when less-than-equal pay, abuse and rape are still everyday issues, how far have we really come? Men, women: Come together and support WOMEN. We are creatures of love. We will give all of our love to you and nurture this world if only we are respected, and loved. It starts with catching that one thought in your head that plays into stereotypes, or rationalizes a mistreatment. I am rising to inspire people to refrain from a sexist joke; stop a sexist thought; and refuse to play into a sexist situation. It starts with you, and will have glorious effects. Women: We are enough! And with everyone rising, the world will see it, too."
