For Women's History Month, Let's Give The Moms A Shoutout, Too

Throughout history, women have made amazing impacts that have shaped the world. Whether it's making great innovations in science or fighting for equal rights, women have been at the forefront of inspiring change and creating a better world.

Marie Curie, a woman, founded the science of radioactivity and was the first person to win two Nobel Peace prizes. She pioneered a new direction in science.

Malala Yousafzai, a woman, actively fought for her right, and girls' rights to an education in her homeland of Pakistan. She started a revolution in her country, encouraging equal rights for men and women.

Harriet Tubman, a woman, safely rescued escaped slaves through the Underground Railroad. She risked her life to save the lives of so many, representing what true bravery is.

These women have revolutionized our lives and changed history for the better. March is Women's History Month and it's a celebration of all the great things women have accomplished throughout time, shedding a spotlight on just how vital women are. As Women's History Month comes to an end, I want to pay tribute to the most important and influential woman in my life: my mother.

My mother is one of the strongest women I know and I am so utterly grateful to have such an amazing and inspirational woman in my life. She immigrated to America and started a family here in a place so foreign and new to her. I can't even imagine going to another state and starting a new life there, let alone a new country. She has sacrificed everything in her life for the betterment of her children.

She's the most selfless person I know and I honestly owe her everything. She's my rock. She's someone who deserves so much more than what she has, and I hope I can give back even an ounce of what she's given me, but nothing can compare to how much a mother gives her child.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
