When #ClaudiaSheinbaum was elected as #Mexico’s 1st female president, many hoped that historic moment would represent the beginning of the end of the male-dominated, machismo culture that has long permeated Mexican society.

13 months later, Sheinbaum was groped on the street by a constituent, a stark reminder that—despite her efforts—Mexico [& the world] still has far to go in its attempts to ensure #equality & #safety for #women.

Wow multiple things going on today to make it an historic day for genital autonomy! An Oregon judge has ruled that plaintiffs have standing to challenge the sex-based exclusion of Oregon's FGM statute on equal protection grounds.

📣 And finally, I’d like to share wise words from Frederick Douglass (1818–1895), African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman:

🗣️ “I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.”

WNBA Incidents Expose Misogyny in Sports Culture

As a coach, an uncle, and a son, I believe we must speak out against the normalization of misogyny. This is bigger than sports—it’s about the dignity and humanity of every woman.

Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

… in their homes, workplaces, and public spaces.

🎯Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

➡️ We must reject this unequivocally—not just with words, but with our actions. Because true leadership is defined by integrity, and the dignity, safety, and humanity of women are non-negotiable.
