March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the resilience, strength, and impact of women throughout history. As part of this celebration, Dr. Adel Korkor sat down with Kate Milligan, founder of 1 Girl Revolution, to discuss the importance of mental health and breaking stigmas that affect communities nationwide. The conversation also touches on the broader societal challenges of mental health stigma, especially in marginalized communities. Dr. Korkor and 1 Girl Revolution discuss how storytelling, awareness campaigns, and grassroots efforts can help normalize mental health conversations and ensure that support reaches those who need it most. This insightful discussion is a must-watch for anyone passionate about mental health, advocacy, and making a difference. Click above to watch the full interview.

At the Adel B. Korkor Foundation, we believe that motion impacts emotion and that mental health should be a priority for all. This Women’s History Month, let’s continue to lift each other up, break barriers, and advocate for a healthier, more connected world.

How Women Can Use Their Voice and Share Their Story with Confidence

Every woman has a story worth telling. Whether it’s about overcoming challenges, advocating for a cause, or inspiring others, sharing your story can be a powerful way to create change, build connections, and uplift others. Here are some steps to help you own your voice and tell your story with confidence:

1. Believe That Your Story Matters

Many women hesitate to share their experiences, thinking they’re not “important enough” or “inspiring enough.” But the truth is, your story is unique, and someone out there needs to hear it. Whether you’ve overcome adversity, achieved personal or professional success, or simply have a lesson to share, your voice has value.

2. Identify Your Core Message

What do you want people to take away from your story? Think about:

• A defining moment in your life
• A lesson you’ve learned
• A cause you’re passionate about

Tip: If you’ve faced mental health struggles, your story could be about resilience and seeking help. If you’ve built a business, your message could be about perseverance and confidence.

3. Own Your Truth with Confidence

Speaking your truth might feel vulnerable, but that’s what makes it powerful. Don’t shy away from authenticity—people connect with real, unfiltered experiences.

Tip: If you’re nervous about sharing personal details, focus on what feels comfortable and set boundaries for what you do and don’t want to discuss.

4. Choose Your Platform

There are many ways to share your story, and you can start with what feels most natural to you:
Writing – Blog posts, articles, or social media captions
Speaking – Podcasts, panels, or public speaking events
Video – YouTube, Instagram Reels, or TikTok
Community Conversations – Networking groups, mentorship, or support circles

Tip: If you’re not ready for a big audience, start by journaling or sharing with a small group of trusted friends.

5. Use Your Story to Inspire Action

Your story can motivate others to take action—whether it’s seeking help, supporting a cause, or believing in themselves. End your story with:

• A lesson learned
• A call to action (e.g., “If you’re struggling, reach out for help” or “Support women-owned businesses”)
• A message of hope

6. Connect with a Supportive Community

Surround yourself with women who uplift and empower each other. Groups like 1 Girl Revolution, mentorship programs, and networking events can provide encouragement and amplify your voice. Always remember to keep growing and evolving- as you grow, keep sharing, inspiring and keep using your voice to make a difference.
