A mom named Jennifer Duggin got her master’s from Tennessee Tech.  And her 28-year-old son couldn’t be there, because he was deployed with the National Guard.  So the school surprised her with a video message from him and played it on the big screen.  Yes, she cried…….. A 22-year-old woman in Massachusetts found out her grandmother saved a bunch of her old voicemails . . . 14 years’ worth.  They covered her entire childhood, from age 3 to age 17.  The first one is about a new scooter, and the last is about landing her first job at Subway. …….And finally………. 

It’s International Women’s Day, which happens every year on March 8. It’s a day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The very first IWD gathering happened in 1911 and became a mainstream global event when it was picked up and promoted by the UN in 1977. The day  is designed to give focus to issues including gender equality, reproductive rights and violence and abuse against women. There are lots of ways to really help girls and women, and to celebrate the rock stars among us. #InspireInclusion
