Jessica Alba poses with daughters for Women’s day message
The Honest Company founder shared an inspiring International Women’s Day statement as she posed with her lookalike daughters.
“Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay today and every single day ❤️? As a mama of two daughters, I am constantly fighting to leave this world better than I found it – not only for them, but for every single person in the world and for the next generations of girls to come. Like all mothers, I want to #breakthebias so my children can have the opportunity to chase their dreams regardless of their gender.”
The actress got candid about discrimination against women calling for women to unite and push for women’s equality in the lengthy Instagram statement. She added that the issue is “global” and a “monumental” problem facing women today.
Jessica Alba reflected on the struggle to get her successful business, The Honest Company, off the ground.
“Looking back over the last 10 years, I never imagined @honest would be where it’s at today. When I was pitching room after room (of mostly men), I faced a lot of rejection. I often wonder how it would have gone if I were in front of VCs that were female-led or focused on female founders,” she wrote.
She revealed that women, Black, and LatinX-led startups receive very little funding, making it an uphill battle for women and women of color to get their businesses up and running.
Alba concluded with a message of hope for women who face discrimination on a daily basis, adding:
“Words of support are no longer enough. We must act every day and keep gender equality at the forefront of our work. I’m here to tell you today that no matter who you are or where you come from, our differences should always be valued and celebrated.”
