Happy International . Girls are magical, and should be celebrated everywhere! Deeming girls “less than” or inferior for the last several thousand years, has only held back half the global innovation and disrupted the balance of earth. Girls are amazing. They’re resilient, brilliant, spunky and fearless. And… they are a big part of our future.
