Are you commemorating women’s history this month?
Or is it just something you celebrate in the first three months of the calendar year only?
Here, I have been thinking about women all the time.
One particular name has been coming back again and again; Marielle Franco.
Have you heard of her?

I have been planning to write something warm, lengthy, memorable about this legend, Marielle Franco since Sunday.
But I have failed to.
That is because I do not even know where to start or to end.
Everything about her till the point when she was murdered in 2018 is worth studying extensively – we are talking months.

I ask this of you;
Do read about Marielle Franco.
Ask someone about her.

Write down something memorable about her, here or anywhere else.
We have to keep her memory alive!
If you struggled to find good enough words to describe this woman and failed, that’s proof enough that’s she’s worth learning and writing about. I will do it soon, thank you for telling us about her!
😍👍👏🏿
I have to admit, I haven’t heard of her, but your post has encouraged me to learn about her and what makes her so special. I look forward to it!

Your passion and dedication to honoring Marielle Franco and women’s history is truly admirable. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and bring attention to important issues, and you are doing just that. Marielle Franco’s legacy deserves to be remembered and celebrated, and your efforts to encourage others to learn about her are making a difference. Keep up the great work and continue to inspire others to celebrate women’s history throughout the year.

I honestly have not heard of Marielle Franco until now. I did a Google search and read a few articles about her. This woman is admirable. She was not afraid to speak out about police violence, corruption and all the bad things in politics. It is just so sad that her life was snuffed out like that.
😩👍
I have not heard of her, but I will look her up and read about her story. Thank you for sharing her with those of us who don’t know who she is.
😍👏🏿
Well, I have been thinking about women all the time. But never heard of Marielle Franco.
👍🙏🏽
Shame on me for this..but I have never heard of Marielle Franco. Im keen to know her now.
😍🙏🏽👏🏿
Although I’ve never heard about Marielle Franco previously, your passion for her and her memory shines through the post. I’m inspired to learn more and will spend time researching her.
😍🙏🏽👏🏿
I actually haven’t heard of her. I’m now curious though and will look her up.
😍🙏🏽👏🏿
Marielle Franco is a big part of Brazil’s history. At such a symbolic moment, we must not forget the life and the battles of Marielle, and we must also not forget the legacy she left behind.
😍👏🏿
She is a woman like many others, but with an exceptional story. She lefts us a legacy. I’m so sorry about her assassination but she will always be remembered.
😍👏🏿
What a beautiful post…honoring great women. She seems like a wonderful soul. Love her bright smile!
😍👏🏿🙏🏽
I focus on supporting women year round, definitely not just for one month of the year. I am familiar with her story, many afro latinas are. Politics and Activism are dangerous for women in general, but for women of color even more so. We must make sure her memory lives in and that more women fight for their seat at the table when it comes to politics and other male dominated fields/professions.
😍👏🏿🙏🏽
We need more women like her to change the world and spread the inspiration!
😍👏🏿
What a wonderful tribute. I think it’s important to remember those we’ve lost too.
🙏🏽😍
First time learning about this woman but seem she is worth the hype and is a great inspiration.
😍🙏🏽👏🏿
Thank you for sharing the inspiring story of Marielle Franco. Her life and legacy serve as a reminder of the importance of speaking out against injustice and fighting for equality. I’m curious to know more about the impact she had on the community and what steps we can take to continue her work.
🙏🏽😍 you’re welcome. I’ll be sharing about those soon enough.
Looking forward to know more about her! Thanks for sharing this very inspiring story.
