I’ll never forget the night I sat in a room full of people laughing at memes… alone. It was my best friend’s engagement party. Instead of clinking glasses, we were all hunched over our phones—posting stories about how “epic” the night was while barely speaking. When I got home, I scrolled through everyone’s photos of…
Let me start with a confession: I used to roll my eyes at International Women’s Day.
