First speaker is talking about the power of words. How we describe ourselves. How we describe sex.
You aren’t bossy, you’re confident.
You aren’t a slut, you’re exploring your sexuality.
Use language to take back control of your narrative. 🧜🏻♀️

Illinois ratified the ERA in June, leaving just One state needed to change constitutional hurdles to ratification.
The 14th & 19th aren’t enough.

The ERA is also an economic issue. It’s proven that when women earn the same as their male colleagues it stimulates the economy.
Gender equality will boost the economy over $4.3 trillion in a decade.
