Video: Highlighting Amazing Women For IWD
A video produced for International Women’s Day 2021 aims to be a “joyous celebration of some of the amazing women in our Bermuda community who inspire us to follow our dreams.”
A spokesperson said, “A year ago a group of women came together under the most unlikely of circumstances, during Covid, to support each other through such challenging times. They laughed together, cried together and inspired each other through the roller coaster of 2020.
“Through their discussions it became clear that having that support network of females is increasingly important in a time when we are stretched to our max trying to outperform at work, at home, and in our community.
“Together they were the inspiration for, and supporters of, a video created by Sara Schroter [General Counsel, Meritus Trust Company and Co-Chair of the Institute of Directors Bermuda] and produced by Lara Smith [Film Producer Founder of LDS Multimedia] which was shared this International Women’s Day 2021 as a joyous celebration of some of the amazing women in our Bermuda community who inspire us to follow our dreams.
“These leaders are forging new paths for our children to follow and they remind us that women can do anything and everything that they set their minds to.
”The video is a response to the 2021 IWD theme #ChoosetoChallenge. It challenges each person to look around their own circles, networks, families and communities, to identify those female role models and leaders who inspire them and celebrate them!
“To give them encouragement privately or publicly, to patronize their stores, use their services, support their causes, seek guidance from them, provide guidance to them and celebrate their individual and collective accomplishments. We get stronger by lifting each other up!”
