My Dear Comrade of the Creatives Discuss community.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the brilliance, resilience, and boundless creativity of women across the globe—and right here in our own vibrant community. This year’s theme, #InspireInclusion, reminds us that progress thrives when everyone plays a part.

Let’s honor the women who shape our world while embracing the power of unity and allyship.

Maya Angelou, Ngozi Chimamanda, Oprah Winfrey, Mother Theresa.

Women like these are the reason why International women's day would forever be important to the whole world.

From groundbreaking artists to visionary leaders, women have always been at the heart of creativity and innovation.

Today is a reminder to amplify the voices of Mothers, Sister, Aunts that have all worked tirelessly. We celebrate their wins, and recognize the doors they’ve opened for future generations.

Men as Allies: Your Role Matters

Inclusion isn’t a solo journey—it’s a collective effort. To our male members: you’re not just observers; you’re vital partners in this movement. Here’s how you can help:

- Celebrate the women in your life (colleagues, mentors, friends) with a shoutout.

- Amplify their ideas in meetings, collaborations, and projects.

- Mentor or champion rising female creatives in their pursuits.

True creativity flourishes when all voices are heard and valued.

Let’s Take Action Together

This week, we invite everyone to:

1. Share a story of a woman who’s inspired your creative journey (use #CreativesForInclusion) don't forget to tag Thecreativesdiscuss across our socials.

2. Nominate a community member for our “Spotlight Series” to highlight diverse voices.

A Final Note

Today is about joy, reflection, and action. Let’s honor how far we’ve come while committing to the work ahead. Together, we can create a world where creativity knows no boundaries—and where every voice, regardless of gender, finds its stage.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to lifting each other up, today and every day.

With gratitude and solidarity,
