Letters to the women who inspire us: Highwire celebrates women’s equality day
By Tiana Petricevic on August 23, 2024
This year particularly has been a historic year for women in America. 2024 had triumphant moments leading up to the November elections as we saw Kamala Harris become the first Black Woman to lead a major party ticket in the United States and instances of unbelievable pride as we saw Simone Biles become the most decorated gymnast of all time after the Paris Olympics. Women have been able to see themselves and the possibilities of their futures in these joyous achievements. However, it’s important to remember these extraordinary moments are also plagued with hardship and struggle, so it’s more important than ever before to show gratitude to the women who’ve helped guide our lives and our futures.
