Who We Walked For During The Women's March

It's a movement, not a moment.

Who We Walked For During The Women's March

1. Those who came before us.

Not just the women, but the men who dedicated lifetimes to justice, equality, civil rights; we will walk for them. For my great great grandmothers that hoped to be able to vote one day. For my grandmothers that have so gracefully modernized and understand the importance of women in today's society. To my mother who serves the community no matter the race, age, and/or class of her patients.

We walk for them.

2. Those who will come after us.

For my little sister. My younger cousins. The kids I teach after school. My goddaughter. And those who haven't been born yet.

We walk for them to have a chance at every opportunity to achieve their dreams.... I think Hillary Clinton said something like that (LOL).

3. Those who have no expectations for their future.

For those who are hopeless, scared, and have given up on their future due to today's political, social, and/or economic climate. Whether they are in an inner city or working in Southern Texas hoping to make money for their families, we walk for them.

4. Those who feel the pressure to succeed.

For those who have impressive, expensive, educated, impactful futures ahead of them. Those students who have goals to make a difference but will be met with challenges. The girls who hope to find a career path that fulfills them, but also deserve an equal chance at healthcare an education in order to be able to focus on their road to success.

The girls and boys who deserve equal opportunity to match their sky high dreams; We walk for them.


Although one person, a relative, friend, or role model, may represent our motivation to walk, we walk for America as a whole. Not just for Hillary Clinton, but we walk for Donald Trump. We walk for the people we admire and the people we wish to affect. We walk for the preservation of the hearts and minds of Americans no matter what our population believes.


We walk because we believe that,

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

We believe the next four years can be positive. We are hopeful, and that's why we walk.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
