On this International Women’s Day, Inspired Girl welcomes guest contributor, Kim Sisto Robinson. She is a women’s advocate, blogger, and poet – her beautiful, raw, real, inspiring words make us think about what we believe…
“I am moved by what I believe. What I do believe is greater, stronger, and mightier than what I have my eyes on. Deep in my heart, I do believe , I shall overcome.” ~ Israelmore Avivor
