The Challenge Accepted campaign is a way for women to support one another and celebrate themselves. The challenge consists of women posting a black and white picture of themselves, using the hashtag #WomenSupportingWomen and including a thank you to the woman who nominated them.
Women are then nominating one woman (or more) privately in their direct messages to post their own black and white selfie, with a supporting comment or two about the importance of female friendships and sisterhood.
I was nominated by my cousin, Stacy Campo. I challenge you...my Spinster Stitcher family, because this thing of ours is a soft place to fall in a world full of hard things. I am strong and happy and wanting to be better and do better every day because of you. Thank you!
I just read about this on CNN. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteWhat is this 'Accept the Challenge'?
ReplyDeleteSo, does this mean that you are nominating all of us? That's pretty cool. That's a lot of woman!
ReplyDeletePS...Love your photo. You're beautiful, Coni!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Coni.
ReplyDeleteLove you Coni, I am so so sorry for what you are going through right now. I have experienced similar things with people betraying me, so I can empathize with you. I Hope you can find some peace with whatever is going on. All we can do is to keep moving forward. xxxooo
ReplyDeleteConi, thanks for the explanation.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this notice. Good thing to do. And I love the way you write.
ReplyDeleteYou are strong! And now you are believing more in yourself - wonderful! Rock on! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt originally started as an awareness Challenge in Turkey. Turkish women are murdered daily and there is no justice. As it migrated from Europe to America, the meaning changed.

Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteas MMATruth says .... this is a challenge to high light femicide in Turkey. Women are being killed purely because they are women. The reason for the black and white photo usage is because thats all they are seen as on the pages of a newspaper... another black and white photo of another woman killed for no reason other than a man wanted them dead. So many are taking up the challenge, which is great, but they do not understand the origins of the challenge, which is not great. PLEASE DO keep the challenge going but when you post your pic explain why you are doing so and then list ways people can help form afar... like donating a small amount to a woman's refuge or something. A quick internet search will give you a long list of information resources where practical help can be given to those who need it. thank you
ReplyDeleteOn a side note... I know i never normally comment but i do love your blog and your needle crafts are amazing ;)
