Today on #InternationalWomensDay, we’re reminded of the power of words—and the impact of self-love, kindness, and community. ? Adriana Carrig, Founder & CEO of Little Words Project, built her brand on a simple but powerful idea: when we feel whole, we can give to others. Her bracelets serve as daily reminders to embrace who you are, spread kindness, and keep the love circulating. ?? As this semester’s SHEreads author and a previous guest on the Founding Fearless podcast, Adriana’s story reminds us that a few kind words can go a long way in building a supportive and uplifting community. #InternationalWomensDay
