4 Ways To Empower Women on Your College Campus

I’m sure you saw it all over social media, but in case you missed it, March 8th was International Women’s Day! A day to celebrate and encourage all the powerful women around the day. As much as I love this day, I couldn’t help but think, “Why don’t we treat everyday like International Women’s Day?”

In a world where women can be influenced by competition and judgement, it is more important than ever to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down. That’s one of our favorite sayings at The Brand Girls! It is so important that we support each other everyday. Start small and big change can occur! Here are 4 ways you can empower women on your college campus:

Support your friends:

Be there to encourage you friends in everything they do! Go to their recitals, help them with their projects, and be the person they turn to when they need to talk.

There is something so comforting about having someone you can lean on!

Pay it forward:

There is no better feeling than doing good for others. This is something we love to do at The Brand Girls. Pay for the person’s coffee behind you at Starbucks or hold the door for someone with their hands full.

This will not only make you feel good, but it will leave the other person feeling inspired to something nice for someone else.

Reach out to someone in need:

Do you know of someone going through a hard time? Depending on the situation, send them a message letting them know you are thinking of them or invite them to lunch.

It doesn’t need to be a grand gesture, just something to show your support. The smallest acts can make someone’s day much brighter!

SMILE:

Never underestimate the power of a smile! As you walk to class, don’t go on your phone. Instead, hold your head up high and smile at the people you walk past.

It can truly make someone’s day to see a friendly face.
