“The time is always right to do what is right.” In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and all he did to inspire, I wanted to pause and take a moment to share with you five women that inspire me daily.

I encourage you to give them a follow! They are sweet, kind, funny, real, down to earth people. And I know, if they aren’t already, will quickly become one of your favorite internet friends!
