[NFBOH-Cleveland] Celebrating Women History Month

[Suzanne Turner]

Ohio and Members,

 

Each year during March, Women's History Month is celebrated and highlights
extraordinary women contributions that spans throughout nation's; even
though it identifies equally momentous obstacles they have endured along the
way to success. Their determination and hard work has brought them through
to the other side to tell the story how they essentially "came over", made
it through and how they had to cry while pushing forward". . . 

 

I would like to take an opportunity and encourage you to learn about our
Ohio's fierce leaders in the movement who serve each and every day.
Although, I can not name them all, you know them by their life work,
distinct calling and leadership panache. Women who serve with in and outside
of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio. Women who will take your
call at any time; day or night. Women who will mentor you with grace,
humility and wonder. Women who have purpose, value, grit and integrity.
These women will leave an indelible mark on you, history and life in the
Ohio Affiliate. Thus, guiding present and future generations while
encouraging all to respect the depth and diversity of women's experiences,
so that  others too will add to the fabric of society,organizations and the
history of the blind movement.     

 

Therefore, take a moment and fellowship with our Women in the National
Federation of the Blind of Ohio.

March is Women's History Month. It's a time to celebrate the important role
women have had throughout history. It originally began as Women's History
Week back on March 7, 1982. The first month-long celebration occurred in
1987.

Women have had and continue to have integral roles in a variety of fields.
Each year, the  <https://nationalwomenshistoryalliance.org/> National
Women's History Alliance names a theme of Women's History Month to highlight
all that women have done.

We all are familiar with famous women in our nation's history. But many
women in our personal circles have also demonstrated strength, courage, and
character. They are trailblazers and pioneers in their own right. Let's
celebrate them this month. Be sure to share one of these inspirational poems
with a woman in your life. Don't forget to thank her for the difference she
is making in the lives of others.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
