SASSY Sister!
March is International Women’s Month, and at SSL we celebrate it with purpose. As we recognize International Women’s Day on March 8th, it feels especially meaningful to declare who we are and what we stand for.
This month is not just about recognition. It is about honoring the courage of women who rise, lead, nurture, build, advocate, and serve. It is about celebrating both the quiet strength and the bold voices. It is about remembering that our presence matters in every space we enter. And it is about paying tribute to the brave women who paved the way so that we could have a voice and a rightful seat at the table.
That is exactly why I am sharing our Manifesto with you this month.
At Suits, Stilettos & Lipstick®, we define ourselves by the values we live. Our Manifesto is more than words. It is our anthem. It reflects the heart, culture, and spirit of our sisterhood. During a month dedicated to women around the world, it is important to boldly affirm who we are and how we rise together.
I invite you to take time to read it. See yourself in it. Stand taller because of it. And remember that you are never walking alone.
I also invite you to enjoy my featured article, “Sorry, Not Sorry,” where I challenge the quiet conditioning that has taught so many women to apologize for taking up space. It is time to fully own our voice, our leadership, and our place at every table.
Scroll down to Community Highlights for exciting news in our sisterhood. We are thrilled to welcome our newest board member, Ariadna Balaguer, whose leadership and heart will help move our mission forward. We cannot wait for all that we will accomplish together.
We are also celebrating a very special birthday. Please join us in wishing Ina Lee a joyful year ahead. As one of our inaugural Honorary Chairwomen, my mentor, and a cherished SASSY Sister, Ina’s wisdom and unwavering support have helped shape SSL into what it is today.
And do not miss the Inspo Corner, your go to space for bite sized motivation and feel good vibes to keep you encouraged and inspired.
Remember, when one woman rises, we all rise. And when women stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.
Happy International Women’s Month!
With love and purpose,
Dr. Elizabeth King
Founder & Chief Inspiration Officer
