Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, we’d like to share this lovely poem from Amanda Lovelace honoring path-breaking women (and ourselves as well!)

this is
an overdue
love letter
to each
& every
woman
who walked
these
fields
before me
&
made
the path
soft enough
for me to
walk through
to get to
the side
they could
never reach.
for that,
i owe you
so much.

– but i owe some things to myself too.
