I might potentially be a little bit biased, but when I get to talking about women I get overwhelmed with the notion that they are some of the most resilient, brave, under appreciated beings on earth. Yes I am truly a die hard feminist, so it fills my heart with joy to talk about what’s next in the BC Cultural Days line up. They will be hosting a livestream event entitled Herstory: Extraordinary Women of Mission that will take place tomorrow afternoon starting at 1:30. 

This event is a video production that documents the past and present lives and stories of Mission women that have impacted the community. From politicians to educators, artists to athletes they will be taking a look back at a diverse group of women and the many achievements they have encountered. 

Usually this takes place as an in-person event but due to the ongoing pandemic that has disabled the ability to throw large gatherings they have had to adjust. They have resorted to an online viewing over Youtube.

Normally, when we talk about feminists they are usually women that have gone down in history, we think of Amelia Earhart, Frida Kahlo or Gloria Steinem basically we think of the legends. Or we think of people that are far removed from our lives such as Michelle Obama, Emma Watson, Beyonce or Oprah Winfrey, basically women of top celebrity status (and are not Canadian as well). So with an event like this, it is wonderful to see that influential women are not only so close in proximity to us but are also more likely to be just everyday people. 

So grab your laptops and let’s bask in the glory of some amazing, local women!
