"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
Girls are challenging stereotypes each day in school, sports, innovation, careers and more.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!
This month and beyond, join us in celebrating all the amazing Black women who paved the way for women and girls across the world to dream big and act courageously. #BHM
