Today (well, technically yesterday) was International Women’s Day.

When I first started at Rooster Teeth, there was a woman who told me I didn’t deserve my job and spread terrible rumors about me that are too awful to even type out; I’m honestly not sure which one hurt more to hear. At every opportunity, she tried to make me feel like I didn’t belong, and that I was less than her.

I’m extremely proud to say the all the women I work with today build each other up, not tear them down. We support one another, encourage one another, and congratulate each other on our victories. She for she, we for we. This is the way it should be. This is the future.

Women spend so much time comparing themselves to other people. What we need to be doing is reaching out our hands to our fellow woman, and lifting each other up, especially when there are those trying to pull us down. Life is crazy, but it’s so much better if we go through it together. She for she, we for we.
