ZOX Wristband – Nevertheless, She Persisted (Women’s History Month) – Medium Size Fashion

“Nevertheless, she persisted.” These three words have become a rallying cry for women everywhere, a symbol of strength, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity. But do you know the story behind this powerful phrase?

It all began in 2017, when Senator Elizabeth Warren was speaking out against the confirmation of a new Attorney General. 

As a result, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell used an obscure Senate rule to silence Warren, stating “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” 

This statement quickly went viral, and the phrase “Nevertheless, she persisted” became a symbol of the struggle for women’s rights and equality.

Valerie Schultz, a writer for ‘America‘ magazine summed it up the sentiment perfectly:

“We women persist. Isn’t that our job? Throughout history, we have persisted in our quest for respect, for justice, for equal rights, for suffrage, for education, for enfranchisement, for recognition, for making our voices heard. In the face of violence, of opposition, of ridicule, of belittlement, even of jail time, nevertheless, we have persisted.”

For me, the phrase is a reminder to speak up for what you know is right – no matter the cost. I hope this ZOX helps you remember that as well.

Thus, we must understand that we won’t always have control over everything. Life is full of unpredictability, and there’s no doubt that anxiety will arise in certain situations. Anxiety becomes more prevalent in our mental health, depending on how we perceive, interpret, and respond to uncertain situations.

Questions starting with “what if” take root in our minds and divert our thoughts to the negative, fear-inducing ideas that introduce stress over a previously innocent situation.

Once we perceive that the situation is out of our control, interpret it as an okay occurrence (meaning: “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’m at peace with it”), then we can respond in a more positive light, instead of drowning in our fear of the unknown.

Little steps are necessary to a big finale. It takes time to move past fear, but it can make significant changes earlier than we might expect.

This brings me to our Spotlight strap today – Moon Child by artist Christine Gulick!

Here’s a note from the artist:

This idea literally came to me in a dream and started as a foil print before I decided to turn it into a Zox strap instead. This strap is going to have a different, deeper meaning to each person, and I’m excited to see what it means to those individuals!
