Cristina Zenato Instagram – It’s International Women’s Day!
I thought long and hard about this post.
I have had some amazing inspirational women guide some of my choices through the years in my career, many of which I have been able to share time, dinners and conversations with. I wish I could list them all and yet I am afraid to miss someone; so I decided to summarize my admiration for those women who inspired me, trailblazed and broke glass ceilings through the biggest recognition for my mom.
My mom is the quiet strength of many women out there.
As an only child, she let me “go” to pursue my dreams and my passions. Never once mentioned how that affected her so it wouldn’t affect me, never once she used it as guilt trip to get me back (and trust me, I have seen some moms doing that to some of my friends.)
Instead she stood strong and when I asked her why she did it, she said she wanted me to have the freedom and opportunities she not always had growing up as a woman in her time.
Today, like most days, mom is 6000 miles away and I miss her.
Happy International Women’s day! | Posted on 08/Mar/2024 18:16:34
