Simone Ashley's 5 Feminist Commandments

Hi, Glamour, I'm Simone Ashley,

and these are my 5 Feminist Commandments.

Number 1, practicing gratitude

on days where I'm feeling insecure,

or I find myself comparing myself to others around me,

which is a real human thing to do,

try to bring it back to

What do I have right now that I'm grateful for?

That always makes me feel happy.

Number 2, work on yourself.

We always have room to grow,

and I like to think that if the heart is like a house,

we have to do the work to tidy up our house,

tidy up our heart, so that we can invite people in

to spend time there with us,

and we can't expect other people to do it for us.

Number 3, learn from and support the women around you.

Number 4, lean into whatever makes you feel strong.

As women, we are constantly facing obstacles

that make us question that,

so I think it's a feeling, and it's an instinct,

and it's one to get to know.

Number 5, know your worth, own it, be confident with it,

and if you can't find it immediately,

just understand it's a journey,

and one to stay on for a very long time.
