Now Playing: Sara Bareilles – ‘Armor”

Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we try as women, no matter how hard we fight, we’re still in the same place as we started. It can feel like we’ve made no progress at all. They tell us we’re not smart enough, pretty enough, or talented enough. They make us feel like we’re less, that we’re not really human. They try to bring us down. Sometimes it feels as if we absorb every bit of negativity from the news, from the people around us, from what is happening all around the world. Sometimes it feels like it’s just too much. We need a way to cope. Armor by Sara Bareilles helps me find a reason to keep going. It is an anthem that makes all of us stronger. It helps us remember who we are and why we fight. This is a song we need now more than ever.
