SpendLikeItMatters at woman-owned businesses as part of your Women’s History Month 2024 celebration! March is also Gender Equality Month, and we therefore celebrate progress made by trans/cis women, trans men, and other non-binary identities in advancing equal rights for those previously denied.
To create our Women’s History Month art, we worked with Diné artist, Cindy Chischilly. She collaborated with her friend Nancy Kelsey to provide the following explanation of the inspiration for her design.
Indigenous women have been the vital lifelines of their communities since time immemorial. They carry on the traditions, history and knowledge of their peoples and homelands to the next generations – enabling each to thrive despite the myriad of adversities hurtled at Indigenous peoples around the globe. Although the diaspora of indigeneity is vast, there are common threads in all that Indigenous women embody: beauty, resilience, strength, wisdom and leadership. This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the countless Indigenous grandmothers, mothers, aunties, daughters, sisters, cousins and Two-Spirit persons who enrich the lives of all those they touch.
We’ve teamed up with Seattle Reign, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken, Seattle Sounders FC, Seattle Storm, and Seattle Mariners to encourage fans and friends to explore and #SpendLikeItMatters in support of the woman-owned small businesses at the heart of our communities.
