THE GLEANER’S FLAIR MAGAZINE • TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 2022 I {FLAIR 20 F.VOX POP What do you love woman? about being a AS THE world celebrates International Women’s Day, we asked nine women: What do you love about being a woman? I absolutely love the diversity of both a pants and a skirt. What does that mean? I’m not confined to just one standard. Today, I am free to lead, inspire, and, or build an empire, and in the same breath, nurture and love unconditionally. I am unapologetically all these things. – Paula A. Bullings, regional field marketing manager, Blue Diamond Resorts Being a woman, to me, is one of the most complicated, difficult, beautiful, complex yet powerful things you could ever hope to be. However, what I love and admire the most is my strength and my ability to be expressive and to simply be my true self. – Alyssa Knibb, medical imaging specialist, the University Hospital of the West Indies We possess certain attributes that the opposite sex does not possess – the ability to carry another human being in our bodies for nine months. The saying “behind every strong man there is a good and even stronger woman to give him support and guidance” always proves to be true. We are superhumans to our families, jobs, and society at large. As caregivers and teachers, our love can be felt by everyone who comes in contact with us. We embody tenacity, inspiration, and mentorship as we bring style, charisma, competition and a wealth of ideas into the workplace. – Paula Roberts, logistics supervisor, ATL Autobahn The meaning of womanhood has changed for me throughout the various stages of my life. Currently, I am a mother, a sister, a nurturer, a provider, a teacher, a daughter, a friend, a disciplinarian, a role model, and on some days, ‘a hot gyal’. Being a woman is unapologetically embracing who I am, what I want, what I deserve and not being confined by societal expectations of who I should be. Being a woman is accepting that I can be both assertive and feminine; I can be kind and have boundaries. – Trish-Ann McTaggart
