They Can Try to Erase Us—But Women Run the World
Women’s History Month has been deleted from calendars. Google and Apple removed it. The government has stripped official recognition.
But let’s be clear: you can’t erase us.
Women have always carried the world—running businesses, raising families, building communities, and preserving culture through their hands, their stories, and their resilience.
At Lumily, we are immigrant-founded, women-led, and 99% of our artisans are women—the backbone of their families and communities. They are entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators. Their work isn’t just about survival—it’s about power, pride, and legacy.
So if history books won’t write our stories, we’ll write them in thread, weave them into fabric, and bead them into jewelry—because women have always found a way.
👇🏻
The Fight to Keep Women Visible
Women’s History Month started small—a single week in 1978 in California. By 1987, it became an official month-long recognition, celebrating the groundbreaking contributions of women in every industry.
And now? It’s being erased.
This year, new policies removed Women’s History Month from federal institutions, claiming it causes ‘division.’ At the same time, textbooks continue to overlook the role of women, and tech companies quietly removed it from digital calendars.
But here’s the truth:
💪 Women’s impact is undeniable.
💪 Women’s work is irreplaceable.
💪 Women’s history will not disappear, because we won’t let it.
💪 Women’s work is irreplaceable.
💪 Women’s history will not disappear, because we won’t let it.
They can take it off calendars. But they can’t take it from our hands, our voices, or our stories.
Women Have Always Led—Even Without Recognition
At Lumily, we see it every day:
🌎 Maya weavers in Guatemala carrying centuries of history in their textiles, supporting their entire families.
🌎 Single mothers in Mexico crafting jewelry that pays for their children’s education.
🌎 Women across the world creating, innovating, and running businesses—often without being seen, acknowledged, or fairly paid.
👑 Women have always been the backbone of culture, economy, and community. It’s time the world recognized it.

Weaving Women’s Stories Into Every Stitch
For the indigenous women we work with, textiles aren’t just clothing. They are storytelling, history, and legacy woven together.
Each embroidered flower, every intricate geometric shape—they all have meaning. These designs are passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, despite colonization, oppression, and now, the erasure of their history.
📣 They tell their stories in fabric. We tell ours in action.
👜 Our upcycled huipil bags? Woven history, given a second life.
💎 Our handmade jewelry? A lifeline for the women who create it.
🛍 Every piece we sell? A stand against erasure.

Women Will Always Find a Way
We’ve seen it time and time again:
When doors close on women, we build new ones.
When resources are denied, we create our own economies.
When history erases us, we tell our own stories.
When doors close on women, we build new ones.
When resources are denied, we create our own economies.
When history erases us, we tell our own stories.
Women’s History Month is more than a date on a calendar—it’s a fight for recognition. And we are fighting by ensuring women’s work, voices, and legacy don’t disappear.
Because here’s the thing: you can try to erase us, but we’re still here.
