AMAZING WOMEN IN HISTORY, Shirley Chisholm
.
.
Born in Brooklyn, Shirley Chisholm began her career as a teacher. In 1964, she became the second Black woman to serve in New York state legislature, and when political redistricting created a new Brooklyn congressional district in 1968, Chisholm defeated civil rights activist James Farmer to become the first Black woman elected to U.S. Congress.
.
She served seven terms in the House of Representatives, and helped found the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Women’s Political Caucus along the way. As a politician, she fought for equality for women and minorities, to eradicate poverty, and to end the draft and the Vietnam War.
.
.
In 1972, Chisholm also became the first woman and the first Black politician to make a bid for the presidency via one of the two major political parties. “I want history to remember me ... not as the first Black woman to have made a bid for the presidency of the United States, but as a Black woman who lived in the 20th century and who dared to be herself,” she declared in an interview just before her death. “I want to be remembered as a catalyst for change in America.” —SF ...

Relationships are apart of life, and the most important relationships are often friendships!
.
.
It is important to surround yourself with friends who uplift you, motivate you, and treat you with love and respect!

Today we celebrate Malala Day 🧡🎉
.
.
Malala Day is commemorated on July 12, the birthday of Malala Yousafzai, to honour women and children's rights around the world.
.
On October 9, 2012, Malala was shot in the head by Taliban gunmen after she publicly advocated for the education of girls. Despite the attack, Malala soon returned to the public eye, fiercer in her views than earlier and continued her advocacy for gender rights. She founded the Malala Fund, a non-profit organization to help young girls go to school, and also co-authored a book titled I Am Malala, an international bestseller.
