“My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg

This 5’1” giant told us how to be a lady by example.

• Find a life partner who loves your brain and has your back.

• Your power is in words, not in fist pounding and shouting.

• Gender norms are not written in stone.

• When you don’t see a way, invent one.

• You are entitled to live your best life.

• Find your tribe and grow with them.

• Show your brilliance unabashedly.

• Be the voice for those without one.

• You have the power to lift others.

• Do it scared.

Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, for being a bright light along our path. ❤

May your memory be a blessing.

We’ll take it from here.
