Our newsroom is made up of women only. And every day we produce and publish content for women. We know that being a woman is a challenge, but also a delight.
On this day 8, we put our words together to share things we would like women to know (or always try to remember).
May we reflect and empower ourselves. Believe in ourselves and inspire other women to do the same. Realize that we can always do more!
1. We are women and more
Dani Oliveira, communicator, stressed in traffic, the crazy Amélie Poulain. ? Stereotypes help us communicate and deal with all the things that cross our path. But have you noticed everything that makes you who you are?
It is not just your profession, your family or your belief. Or your race, your appearance, your tastes and attitudes. Everything you live makes us who we are.

How much you, your mother, your friend, and even that coworker you don't like very much. We are women and along with that many other things. Each with its own list.
We can better handle ourselves, and the women around us, by remembering our complexity and not admitting a single definition of anything or anyone.
2. Don't expect anything from us.
Beatriz Castells, Sagittarian, passionate about fashion, trying to live without sugar.
"Have you noticed how they are always expecting something from us?" It starts in motherhood. As soon as we are born they already put earrings in our ears because, since we are women, they expect us to be feminine.
In childhood, everyone hopes that our favorite game is to play with dolls (at most Barbie). Then a few years later comes the famous phrase? And the boyfriends ??.

After we meet a guy, the questions start when we're getting married. Still there at the wedding party begin to talk about children. We got pregnant. We stop. Is the baby barely born and questions begin when a little brother comes?
If I kept writing, there would be no room left for my colleagues, because they are always expecting something from us. Do not expect anything from us.?
3. You deserve to be with someone who values you
Raquel Praconi, proofreader who would like to correct life as well.
It's not worth wasting your energy playing emotional games because of a partner. There are men who will like you without you having to calculate your next steps in order to win them over.If it leaves you in a vacuum for days, stop making excuses to justify this behavior. There is no right alternative between sending a new message or waiting for it to respond: you will always be missing out.

Likewise, you shouldn't waste your time talking to all the women who enjoy his pictures. If you don't feel safe, moving away from this partner can lead to a much quieter life. Remember that love is reciprocal and not game dependent. You deserve to be with someone who values you.
4. Free yourself from impostor syndrome
Ana Kordelos, content producer, curious by nature and always seeking knowledge.
Have you ever felt a scam? As if all his achievements were mere works of chance or thanks to a lot of luck? This feeling has a name: impostor syndrome.Mostly affecting women, especially in the professional field, this syndrome gives the feeling that the woman does not belong to that space or is fit for a certain activity.
Do not be paralyzed in the face of the unknown, take a risk and trust in your ability. After all, everything can be learned or improved, and the things that challenge us the most are worthwhile.
And remember: competence is not about a chromosome that determines your gender, but about your skills and the effort that is applied to a particular challenge.

5. Escape from jokes and macho comments
Tais Romanelli, journalist in love with writing, family and dogs.
It is essential to be aware of and position ourselves on jokes and labels. that try to diminish us from men and are often spread by women themselves. For example: "Every woman is crazy to marry and pressures the man for it"; "It is in the nature of man to betray and woman to accept"; and jokes that suggest that a woman's friendship is always false and only men's is true.Jokes and comments of this kind may seem harmless, but they carry macho thinking behind them and should not be broadcast (let alone by women).
6. You are more capable than you think
Sheila Almendros, journalist, content coordinator, blogger and multitasking.
We often face challenges that seem like we won't be able to keep up with the message. And it is not for lack of preparation or time, but for insecurity, that makes us wonder if we are able to face the new and that takes us out of the comfort zone. But have you noticed how much we function by intuition?
We can handle our job responsibilities and manage a personal life without even noticing that we are doing it all automatically. With this in mind, the insecurity equation is very simple to solve: if the schedule allows, why believe that you are not able? Woman, you kill several lions a day without realizing it! You are more capable than you think!
7. Empathy, women. Empathy
Priscilla Azara, a free-souled Scorpian, discards patterns and knows that the sky has no limit.
Maria is married, works, studies, travels, has fun and considers herself a happy person. You have chosen not to fit children into your lifestyle. Maria does not want to be a mother, but she often listens: "wait until maternal instinct comes out, every woman needs a child to know unconditional love."Reflect on the culture of imposing your experience on the other. Having a child is indeed a very rich experience, but it is not an obligation. Mary's decision not to take care of a new life does not make her any less of a woman.
Let us stand united in the freedom to take the reins of life itself. Using the word of the time, let's have SORORITY.
8. We decide what we like
Isabella Tamaki, passionate about new stories, languages, pop culture and authentic styles.
“No matter what we women like, there is always someone to question us. If we are fans of soap operas, romantic movies or pop idols, we are called naive. If we prefer football or superhero movies, they say it's just to please the male audience and there are already a thousand questions about these universes that we are not obliged to know by simply liking it.
For me, our interests and predilections are also part of our personality and there is nothing more fun than being a fan! Although questioned, know that your tastes and preferences are more than valid !?
9. The woman who lives in us
Camila Mocki, loves makeup and nature. Loves to tell stories and watch others laugh at her.
“Who has never heard?” Ah, but that one doesn't give respect. Has it ever been in everyone's hands? I've heard it, my friend, and believe me, I've played a lot. But over time I began to realize that I also suffered from such comments. And look how funny it is, I found that the women I defamed and I went through the same things. Harassment is the same, violence is the same. And why shouldn't I treat you with equal respect?One of the greatest achievements I've gained in my female liberation is that I can see myself in another woman. Knowing that your pain is mine and your pleasure is mine. Let us lean on each other! Only who will lose something with this attitude, my friend, is machismo.
10. Love your body (and who you are)
Mariana Bianchini, a communicologist, but at the bottom wanted to be a Disney princess.
Most of us are not comfortable with our own bodies. We spent a lot of time seeking acceptance from others and trying to fit in with unreachable beauty standards, while deep down we really wanted to feel good about who we are.
We need to find a way to see the wonderful women inside and outside of us so that we can learn to love each other's parts.
Putting this into practice requires a constant and challenging but necessary practice because our body deserves to be respected? for others, but mostly for ourselves.
11. It's not our fault
Ananda Almeida, journalist and leonine, but shy that only seeing.
"It's just a new complaint of harassment for us to hear things like, 'when it served to leverage her career she didn't complain, why did she only speak now?'I think we women should always think and propagate that, far from being an advantage, these abuses put women in a dead end situation that, besides putting their careers at risk, brings very great feelings of fear, guilt and of shame. And that goes for our work environment, where it's up to us to support each other to together create a safe place where harassment brings consequences to the perpetrator rather than the victims.
12. You don't have to change for anyone
Nicole Dias, content producer, in love with her life and beautiful things.
“Anyone who sees me today, happy and confident in a relationship, can't imagine how much I've tried to mold myself to fit someone else's heart. But if there's one thing I've learned over time? and with other wonderful women! ? is that this is not necessary.
You don't have to try to be different from what it is for someone to like you, whether it's for romance or friendship.
You can talk loudly, be quieter, loathe the gym, or love makeup, whatever. You can do whatever you want. Just can not nullify or pretend just to earn attention crumbs.?
13. Own Your Own Destiny
Mariana Bueno, journalist, traveler, compulsive reader and enjoys sunny days.
“The world is even more dangerous to women, which creates insecurity almost all the time. In addition, we have learned that we are fragile, we are not encouraged to live new experiences, and we grow up in fear. But we must go further and break with the expectations created about us! Get out of town, meet another country, truly meet!Traveling alone is also liberating, I've been to many places and I encourage you to do so, regardless of what others say or what society has defined as ideal female behavior. Self-knowledge acquired in one's own company strengthens and empowers. And the woman's place is where everyone wants!
On Women's Day? and every other day of the year - our greatest wish is that all women love each other and believe that they can always do more.
With love,
Writing Le Baragosse.
