Unshackle your hearts

Claim your power

Undo your amnesia

Embrace your sovereignty

Recover your voices

Howl your resistance

Remember your Origins

Fight for what is rightfully yours

Be bold

Be brave

Be fierce

Dance with your sisters

Sing with the birds

Sway with the trees

Dive deep into the oceans of your memories

Swim with the whales

Soar into the sky

Circle the moon

Dazzle the sun

Be wild

Be honest

Be courageous

Be true to your female consciousness

Unchain the chains

that have kept you imprisoned

Free yourselves from the lies

that have silenced you.

Rise up and speak your truths
