What Wild Women Do Quotes

“What Wild Women Do:

Mark ourselves bigger and louder than may be initially comfortable.

Take up space rather than becoming smaller to fit something narrow and unyielding.

Show emotion, be it anger, sadness, hurt, joy—we are human, and therefore have earned our feelings.

Are feminine when it suits us, because we want to be, but never because someone else asks it of us.

Respect ourselves, because not everyone else will.

Seek peace without shrinking from chaos, which can be a catalyst for change.

Enjoy life on our terms, as we only get one to live.

Trust other women and be trustworthy to our sisters in return.

Be bold in every space of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, and take a seat at the table.”
― Karma Brown, What Wild Women Do
