I get it when women say:

"I'm so discouraged"

"I'm tired"

"I'm scared"

I get it and I feel this way too sometimes. What helps me, is to turn to history. Sometimes looking to the women behind me is where the brightest light is.

One of the places and people that I look to are the women behind the Montgomery Bus Boycott. 

These women put together a monumental and effective strategy against unrelenting & deadly dangerous racism in the United States south. That's amazing!
