On the 8th of March the entire world will be celebrating International Women’s Day. And, while we’re truly excited that this day has become a token of appreciation for women worldwide, we do believe amazing women should be celebrated every…single…day!

2017 has been a booming year for feminist and equalitarian initiatives. From the Women’s March to the #metoo and #timesup movement (to name a few), things are changing towards a better, brighter and we want to believe, fairer society. We’ve made a lot of progress, but we’re only at the beginning of the road. Luckily, we’ve got some extraordinary women pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and proving that gender roles are as obsolete as the society that created them. Even more luckily, many of these women have Instagram accounts, meaning we can easily tap into their empowering ideas.

Thus, what better way to celebrate than to give a big “thank you!” to all women and offer a warming gift of inspiration in the form of empowering women accounts to follow on Instagram? We say it’s a pretty good way! So, here’s to them, here’s to us, here’s to you!

Empower education with @katiemeyler

Empower communication with @azitaloves

Azita loves and we definitely love Azita. A communication strategist at her core and a world aficionado all-around, her account is driven by an endless curiosity.

A quick scroll through her profile will leave you mesmerized, but a more in depth read of her captions will have you laughing or grasping in awe. Get ready to indulge in nudges of wisdom in condensed form (puns included) and long-form captions that will get you deeper into the social media works but also into the insightful rhythm of everyday life.

Azita is a strong supporter of ONGs and environmental causes that are becoming more and more stringent in today’s society. Thus, in addition to gaining communication insights, you’ll also have a hot wire to some of the most important social causes, alongside a practical way to show your support.

Empower business entrepreneurship with @sianricho

Sian Riachardson is one of those unique business coaches who are not afraid to tell it like it is! A non-apologetic woman and a courageous entrepreneur, she left her 9 to 5 job to follow her creative drive and she hasn’t looked back ever since. Expect some NSFW language in her posts (or if you leave your 9 to 5, nothing will be NSFW anymore, right?) and keep an open mind.
