Happy International Women’s Day & International Women’s History Month from two women that know how to blaze a trail, Mayor Sue Zwahlen of Modesto California, and Mayor Cherilyn Barrios of Oakdale California. ❤️
International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Stanislaus County has so many thriving businesses, social programs, health care programs, educational programs, local charities, and so many more operations that are being spearheaded by women.
We have A LOT to brag about when it comes to women being in charge and making things happen, in the past and very much so in the present day.✨
Now we know we can’t fit all the trailblazing women in Stanislaus County into one 90 second reel... But what we can do is encourage you to leave a comment tagging a woman who inspires you. The woman in your life who motivates you to reach for the stars. We hope you can add a little note as to why they’re a rockstar in your eyes and let them know their hard work is NOT going unnoticed.💜
