International Women’s Day is a global holiday celebrated annually to commemorate women’s cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements. Here at Cricut, we wanted to celebrate and empower women who have walked different life paths and demonstrate the positive effect that being creative can have on a person. To do so, we asked fifteen incredible women to tell us why they love being creative and what it means to them.
