A look at International Women’s Day

While acknowledging Birmingham’s coolest women should be something we all do daily, it’s exciting having a whole day devoted to it. So, what’s International Women’s Day all about? 

Every year on March 8, this global day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. And wow, The Magic City has so many! If only we had time to mention them all.

There’s no better place to cheer on the amazing women in Birmingham than at Forge. As you may know, Forge is one of Birmingham’s woman-owned businesses. Founded by Kim Lee in 2017, it’s a co-working space located on the second floor of The Pizitz in downtown Birmingham. A woman-owned business hosting an event celebrating women? Sounds like the perfect place to pay tribute on this momentous day. 

“It’s always a highlight of our year. We love bringing women together, being able to encourage women in the work that they are doing all over the city and let them know they are not alone. We’re all here to support each other and elevate all the work that women are doing in the city.”

Kim Lee, CEO/Founder, Forge
