Did you know that dress codes aren't just an issue that women face in the workforce? Rather it stems from when they were little girls in school. #DressCodes #BreakTheBarrier #CanChooseYourShoe #Equality #Freedom

A fun fact for #WisdomWednesday: The number or reported injuries in high heels have DOUBLED in the last decade according to the Consumer Product Safety Commissioner (2015). This has been caused by women wearing heels in situations and environments they were deemed unsafe in.

When we listen society dictate what we can and can’t wear to be taken seriously, we are allowing society to value our appearance more than our abilities. This is perpetuating the sexualization of women in the workplace. #CanChooseYourShoe #TuesdayThoughts

Proud to walk w/ Hope in High Heels on the Hill in solidarity to end gender-based violence. It’s not a women’s problem; it’s a men’s problem

It's possible to wear high heels and also want equality in the workplace. Heels tire women physically, but they're even more tired of being expected to conform to standards of beauty, and especially ones put in place by business' - and men.
