Justice is long overdue! ✊🏽✨
For centuries, women have been compounded by oppression and punished for speaking out. Silence, at this very moment in time, is rampant for women’s protection.

We are so grateful for the bravery of the fierce and powerful Dolores Huerta. 🙏🏽🔥

Within the tarot, the major feminine arcana traces our feminine power. Intuition and perception have always guided how women recognize and speak what is true. 🔮

May the truth bring us healing and our world move rapidly toward becoming a place that holds women in regard and allows us our human rights. 🦋❤️‍🔥✨

These images were illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith for the Rider–Waite–Smith tarot deck (1909).

Dolores Huerta is a force of nature, encouraging women to delegate and be in their full power to contribute energy toward making positive change in the world. She has dedicated her life to fighting for
equity and justice. We are grateful for her work and inspiration. 🦋✨

🎨Frida Kahlo used art to heal herself from physical and emotional pain. Her husband was a celebrated and regarded painter, but, as a woman, it wasn’t until after her death that the world acknowledged the magnitude and beauty of her paintings.

Frida’s work celebrates the power women hold to rise above adversity, to see with clarity and endure with grace, striving for dreams in a world that undermines our capability, denies us opportunities, and fails to protect us. These contributions are immeasurably and eternally valuable. 🦋✨

We honor Ms. Kahlo’s contributions to humanity through her exquisite art. We are grateful for the ways her work continues to uplift women, pay homage to our struggle and remind us of what is possible. ❤️‍🔥✨
