We all wake up in the morning and we all have a purpose, big or small. Driving a truck, fighting for women’s rights, going to school, or making a meal. The vagabond artist delights strangers and indulges in her freedom. A CEO makes for innovation and keeps her employees motivated and happy. A stay at home mom makes the whole world for her children. I want all women to be able to truly choose the lives they want to live and receive all the respect they deserve. Those very basic things have been a huge piece of work since the beginning of the pandemic. Doing the dishes, holding on to the job or letting go of it, taking care of themselves and others. Getting up in the morning and getting through the day. What do you hope people around the world will think and feel when they see this Doodle?Ī: I really hope that women feel seen and valued for whatever they’ve been doing and are doing right now. The reality of the last couple of years has forced women to shift focus, adjust priorities and make sacrifices to be there for others who need them. We usually celebrate women and their incredible accomplishments in the past and present, and inspire young girls to dream big.

The Día de la Mujer Conference has provided a much needed space for Latinas in Michigan to highlight their accomplishments in our community.Today’s annual International Women’s Day Doodle is an animated slideshow that transports us around the world to give a glimpse into the everyday lives of women across different cultures.įrom a mother working from home to a motorcycle mechanic teaching her skills to the next generation, each illustration depicted in today’s Doodle is connected by the common thread of how women show up for themselves, their families, and their communities. The goal of the Día de la Mujer conference is to empower, motivate, inspire, and support Latinas in their quest for advancement. This information will be used as a base for the DDLM committee in the planning, design, and development of the conference to guarantee a more accurate program approach, increase participation and improve the quality of the DDLM conference.
The proposed CNBP component will ascertain general needs and concerns of Latinas. Through our surveying of previous DDLM conferences we have found that there is a need for a Community Network Based Planning (CNBP) approach to enhance the DDLM conference plans and design. In order for the present structure and operational system of DDLM to keep up with the changing social, political and economic needs of Latinas in Michigan, an accurate needs assessment of Michigan Latinas is needed. The evolving needs and characteristics of Latinas as a population group demands that events like DDLM acutely assess the target community in order to effectively keep up with its demographic and ethnographic changes.
Through an agenda tailored to Latinas’ social issues, DDLM has become an institution and a source of education and development for the many hundreds of people that attend each year and an event where networking connections are made for employment, educational opportunities, and empowerment of Michigan Latinas.Ĭurrent success of DDLM can be attributed to the sponsorship and stewardship of Michigan State University units and departments that support Latinas in their quest for advancement.
The Día de la Mujer (DDLM) conference is designed to provide Michigan Latinas with the opportunity to develop support systems to effectively overcome these challenging areas. Compared to the 16 th Annual DDLM the year before the number of participants increased by more than one hundred and the overall quality of the conference improved significantly.
These workshops were facilitated by Latina experts in the identified areas.
