I will begin this article with a beautiful passage from Azra. T, “Your Hands are Threads, Your Body is a Canvas” for all the women, cis and trans in the world;
„I will teach my daughter not to wear her skin like a drunken apology.I will tell her ‘make a home out of your body, live in yourself, do not let people turn you into a regret, do not justify yourself. If you are a disaster it is not forever, if you are a disaster you are the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. Do not deconstruct from the inside out, you belong here, you belong here, not because you are lovely, but because you are more than that.“
This year, hosted by Pedro Gonçalo Mota Ferreira who also manages Women Who Inspire Rhein Main and Community Partner for Startup Guide Frankfurt Vol. 1 at Startup Guide, Mentor Lane, Digital Madness GMBH and Frankfurt Valley, we celebrated the International Womens Day 2019 for Women Who Inspire Rhein Main at WeWork, Neue Rothofstraße,Frankfurt am Main for an afternoon of fun and intellectual discussion, exciting workshops and networking with female creators and innovators, entrepreneurs, leaders and those who wants to learn and have a new and wider perspective.
