Today we celebrate @RubyBridges, who integrated William Frantz Elementary in Louisiana as a young kindergartener. Happy Women's Month to you, Ms. Bridges. May we be worthy of carrying on your legacy and strength! #WomensHistoryMonth

Today marks the start of Women's History Month! One of our sheroes is writer, feminist, librarian & civil rights activist Audre Lorde, who said: "I am deliberate and afraid of nothing." 🙌🏽
