Throughout March Sweet Magnolia emphasized the outstanding contributions of brilliant+beautiful+brave Black women. 

March is Women's History Month, with the theme "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion." This theme recognizes women nationwide who believe that bias and discrimination should be eliminated from our lives and institutions to achieve a positive and fairer future. Women from all backgrounds know that an uneven playing field will never bring equality or justice. Many of them feel the need to speak up and work harder for fairness in our institutions and social interactions.

We celebrate women who promote inclusion and diversity and exclude no one in our quest for freedom and opportunity. We know that people can change with the help of families, teachers, and friends and that young people, in particular, need to learn the value of hearing from different voices and perspectives as they grow up.

Today, equity, diversity, and inclusion are powerful driving forces that greatly impact our country. Women are at the forefront of reevaluating the status quo in their roles as members of families, civic and community groups, businesses, and legislative bodies. They look fresh at harmful social policies and behaviors that often subtly determine our future. In response, women in communities nationwide are helping to develop innovative programs and projects within corporations, the military, federal agencies, and educational organizations to address these injustices.

It takes courage for women to advocate for practical goals like equity, diversity, and inclusion when established forces aim to misinterpret, exploit, or discredit them. We honor women from the past and present who have taken the lead to show the importance of change and to establish firmer safeguards, practices, and legislation reflecting these values. After centuries of discrimination, we proudly celebrate women who work for basic inclusion, equality, and fairness.
