Born #OnThisDay, Maya Angelou reminds us that advancing #GenderEquality is more than a movement—it’s a way of life.
Today and every day, her words continue to inspire us to build a better world #ForAllWomenAndGirls.

Today, we remember Wangari Maathai, who was born #OnThisDay.

Her legacy lives on and continues to inspire us 💙
