 Why are You celebrate Women Day?

The purpose behind celebrating this day is to promote peace with women's rights. While every day is a women's day, this particular day is marked to honor all the women and their achievements regardless of the divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political.

IWD has always been a great moment to reflect on everything women have done in the past, and the influence that is carried on to this day! I’ve been lucky to be on this team, and I've had the opportunity to research and discover so much of what women have achieved. Celebrating them all over the world—across so many different fields—is incredibly inspiring! 

The theme “Women Firsts” especially resonated with me. My great grandmother (who I remember drawing with when I was a child) was an incredible artist, but she was never really allowed to pursue art professionally. I eventually became the first woman in my family to pursue art studies and create a profession from drawing. I wish she could have had the same opportunity back then! l actually snuck in a shot from my profession as an animator in the video. When I started, it was a field dominated by men, and I’m proud to see so many women animators and directors now.
