Yesterday was International Women’s Day, and celebrities across Instagram took time out to commemorate the day. Alexis Ohanian placed the spotlight on his wife, Serena Williams, and daughter, Alexis Olympia.

“Celebrating these two women every day,” Alexis Ohanian told his social media followers. “Trying to use my power, platform, and privilege to open doors that’ll be the legacy I leave this Boss Baby,” the celebrity father said.

Tamera Mowry also commemorated International Women’s Day by celebrating her daughter, Ariah Housley. “May she grow up knowing she is loved,” the celebrity mom said. “My loving, compassionate Ariah. I know you will fight the good fight. To be #kind doesn’t mean to not be strong, to be strong doesn’t mean you lack #kindness. You can possess both. You are momma’s joy.”

International Women’s Day was enacted to highlight the social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments of women worldwide. The holiday was initially established on March 19th. Women’s Day was, however, moved to March 8th as more countries recognized the holiday.
