Stand Up for Strong Women

Go Back

We all have women in our lives who’ve touched our hearts with their courage, strength and presence.

It might be your mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, granddaughter or just a close friend.

In honor of National Women’s History Month, we’ve curated words from women that embody the Motivo mission. Independence. Courage through adversity. Standing tall with human dignity.
