Because I Am A Girl

This is not a fashion post.
This is a post about women.
About girls.


BECAUSE I AM A Girl

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I watch my brothers go to school while I stay home.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I eat if there's food left over when everyone is done.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I am the poorest of the poor.

AND YET...

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I will share what I know.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I am the heart of my community.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I will pull my family out of poverty if you give me the chance.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I will take what you invest in me and uplift everyone around me.

BECAUSE I AM A Girl, I can change the world.
