Madison fills our hearts with so much LOVE!

Madison is an incredible young woman, and we are so thrilled to be highlighting her!

About Madison:

Hi! My name is Madison (@schillian), and I’m the founder of @su.la.po, an editorial platform that discusses beauty in all the ways we consume it – not just product. I’ve made it a mission of mine to produce campaigns for brands that reflect the women of 2018 – our differences should be celebrated, highlighted and showcased to younger generations as part of the mosaic of beauty we live in.

About Her Women Warriors:

My role models are each of the women that have kept true to this mission; who lead with generosity, spirit, and heart in whichever field they exist in. It can oftentimes be difficult not to react to adversity with negativity, criticism and exclusion – but the women who inspire me reach out to have the difficult conversations, do the necessary work, and still live in love while doing so. Cheers to them doing above and beyond what has been asked of them. That is true strength.

Meet our girl, Blaire!

Meet our girl, Blaire! She is a 19 year old student in her second year of studying Education to become a French Immersion teacher. She is also a Resident Advisor at her University!

She says “I love to surf and ski, and I am passionate about music and mental wellness. This last year has been a personal struggle as I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, all while trying to balance being a student and resident advisor. It has affected me in multiple aspects of my life; however, I know that it does not define me. By surrounding myself with the right people this year, I have learned to never be ashamed of my mental illness; I am learning to be a voice, not a victim.”

About her Woman Warriors:

“My mom and my sister have both taught me true strength. They both truly have a heart for others and no matter what they are going through, they always help those around them first. They both stand up for what they believe in, and were both a voice for me when I couldn’t find my won. One of the best things they have both taught me is to dance like nobody’s watching and to be unapologetically me.”

Hey Ife, let’s meet your #WomanWarrior!

“I’m a 3rd year Computer Science Student and being in a highly male dominated field can be quite intimidating but my 2 female role models, powerhouses : my mother and grand mother have thought me to look beyond what I identify as but what I have to offer. My mother was the only woman that was in line for a promotion at her previous firm and when selected many looked down at her but she dominated the position beyond everyone’s expectations she showed me that what a man can do a woman can just as well or even better. My grandmother was a single mother and she raised 6 children by herself. She drove to the hospital while she was in labour and shows me time and time again that regardless of whatever you’re going through you’re only able to accomplish everything when you believe. These two women have both dominated in two different aspects which has contributed to the woman I am today.”

Thank you for the submission Ife, we’re completely inspired!

DM us via social media to have your #WomenWarriors highlighted in our campaign, looking forward to hearing about who you choose 🙂

A beloved mom shares her picks for our #WomenWarriors campaign. Meet Deb,

DEBBIEWW \

This is Debbie, her #womenwarriors are Ellie and Sam. Debbie is a wife, mother to a wonderful son and daughter and has three precious grandchildren.

She works full time as an elementary school secretary and loves to volunteer whenever possible. She loves her job looking after all the little ones in her life. She is surrounded by loving family and friends which gives her so much fulfillment and joy in her life and feels grateful each and every day.

“Ellie and Sam are both kind, caring, courageous and strong women who have an abundance of love to give others. Although they have suffered great loss in their lives and have had many obstacles to overcome, they still find the strength to put others first. They never lose faith when times are tough and believe that tomorrow will be a better day. They live by Mother Teresa’s quote ‘In this life we cannot always do great things, But we can do small things with great love.’ “

Amazing. We love it. Thanks for sharing Debbie!
