Celebrating Women

International Women’s Day is coming up on Sunday March 8th and we want YOU to help us celebrate the amazing women we have right here in Sarnia-Lambton by nominating those women in your life who inspire you, motivate you, encourage you and more.

Who are those women for you?

I think back on my life and think of how many women have inspired me.

My mom taught me a love of life, standing up for yourself, believing in yourself and finding joy in everything you do.

My second mom stepped in after I lost my mom at 18. I’ve learned strength, courage, kindness and perserverance from her. Faith.

I’ve been inspired by my own two daughters in so many ways. I see their strength, courage, integrity and kindness. I see them chase after big dreams and big goals, never giving up on themselves and never stopping to help others along the way.

I’ve been inspired by women in the workplace. I started as a mascot back in 1991. I watched other women in this industry advance in their job, lead with integrity and move into other industries and businesses. I am inspired by women in business who lead with strength, compassion, empathy and kindness.

I’ve been inspired by women online, in podcasts or YouTube, or social media or authors of books. People I have never met yet they have inspired me to be better in every way. Whether that’s Mel Robbins, or Joyce Meyer or Oprah Winfrey or Michelle Obama.

I’ve been inspired by women in fitness who have helped me to continue to grow and encourage me to never quit or give up on wanting more for myself. Autumn Calabrese and Lacee Green have been two women who have kept me going for over ten years. I have never met them, but they have inspired me and made a huge difference in helping me achieve my own health and fitness goals.

I’ve been inspired by so many incredible women I feel so lucky.

My close friends, my co-workers, my family.

It’s so important to celebrate and recognize all those individuals who have made a difference to you and your life.

That’s why we are bringing you our International Womens Day weekend. Starting Friday at noon – not only will be highlighting the amazing women in music that you already listen to every day on the Fox, but we are going to be sharing stories of the women in our community who inspire others each and every day.

Please submit your nominations so we can share their stories with the world.

Let’s celebrate each other today and every day.
