International Women’s Day 2025: Women Built This. Now Pay Us What We’re Worth.

International Women’s Day 2025 isn’t just a hashtag. It’s grit. It’s sacrifice. It’s every late night, every hard decision, every fight to be seen, heard, and paid what we’re worth.

For women entrepreneurs, this isn’t just about breaking glass ceilings—it’s about sweeping up the shards, keeping the doors open, and pushing forward when the world keeps telling us to play small.

At Naked Bar Soap Co., a Black Latina-owned skincare brand, we built this business with our own hands. No shortcuts, no trust funds—just raw determination and the belief that we could create something better. Because self-care for women isn’t a luxury—it’s a rebellion.

The truth is, women don’t just participate in business—we build it. We drive the economy, shape industries, and lead innovation. Yet, somehow, we’re still underfunded, underpaid, and underestimated. We built social media, yet not a single major platform is led by a woman. We are the backbone of commerce, yet securing funding as a women-owned businessis still a battle.

So today, we celebrate every woman-owned business making her own way. Every woman who refuses to shrink herself. Every female entrepreneur who pushes forward despite the odds. While brands flood your feed with pink graphics and empty slogans, we know the truth: Women’s empowerment isn’t seasonal. It’s every damn day.
