A lot has happened politically in the last month for our country. I am here to remind you to stay in the light and out of low vibrations. When faced with challenges, sexism and racism it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, to shut down, or to turn away. But true strength isn’t found in avoidance—it’s in staying engaged, educated, and aligned with community. We learn the most when we ask questions, listen, and lean into conversations—especially with perspectives different from our own.
This is where our power lives and true resistance will get organized.
If you are feeling helpless, overwhelmed, or even angered by all the political puppeteering, here is what you can do!
Right now, wearing red lipstick represents defiance, solidarity, and empowerment—especially for women and the other marginalized communities faced with discrimination. It’s a symbol of resistance against oppression, reclaiming power, and making a bold statement that voices will not be silenced.
Historically, red lipstick has been worn in feminist movements as a mark of strength, confidence, and rebellion. In this moment, it serves as a visible sign of unity among those protesting threats to women’s rights, democracy, and social justice.
If you want to join; Women are participating in the nationwide non-violent protests to voice their concerns over various issues, including women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, public health, gun violence, climate change, and wealth inequality all over the country. Know you are not alone in trying to make the world a better place for everyone.
Above all, take care of yourself. The world feels heavy, and it’s easy to get lost in the noise—but you can’t pour from an empty cup. Breathe. Rest. Hydrate. Move your body. Laugh when you can. Staying informed is important, but so is protecting your energy. Take breaks when needed, and remind yourself that resilience is built in moments of care, not just action.
We need you strong for the long game.
