TeamGirlPowa would like to welcome you to our very first contest that celebrate's women from ancient history and into the future. This contest will continue until the end of the month in celebration of Women's History Month, and we encourage all genders to participate.
Throughout history women have been at the center of our universe. Women give birth, are caretakers, hold our families together, or become the heart of our community. In modern times, many of us have powerful careers and heavy responsibilities.
As a woman we all overcome many obstacles and refuse to allow our destiny to be dictated to us. As Claudia Edwards, a Fortune 500 leader stated, "Womanhood is something you claim and seize, not something you grow into. It's about seizing the opportunity to realize your potential, striving to be the best, and making sacrifices."
Today, we see many women making a difference on Steemit and therefore, we want to push our potential and create an empowering contest for all to participate. So, without further ado we would like to present the contest.
The contest will start today, March 22, 2018 and end on Saturday, March 31, 2018 at 12:01 AM EDT.
