"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul." -Coretta Scott King. To commemorate the struggles of women's rights and to celebrate the many social, economic, cultural and political contributions of women, which have often gone unnoticed, unsung and unwritten.

This piece was inspired by the #womensmarch that took place all over the world on January 21, 2017. In celebration and solidarity, we stand together for justice, equality and kindness always. Together, we will create a way. 

The hand-lettered words on the print read as follows:

"The strength and beauty of vines
grow on and on. Their perseverance makes
them difficult to cut away or hold back, and their
determination to reach light is fervent.

The impact of women is ever-growing,
ever-lasting. The passion, bravery and life
they carry do not cease, and instead become stronger
and more meaningful in their expanse."
