Photos: Celebrating Generations Of Strong & Beautiful Women

International Women's Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, and political accomplishments of women everywhere. For many women, one of those accomplishments include motherhood. Here are a few generation photos of strong and beautiful grandmothers, mothers, and daughters.

Back down memory lane to one of my first trips to Jamaica at the tender age of 8 months. Pictured here with Mommy and Grandma in my Grandma's yard in Hampton Green, Spanish Town. . . . . . #jamerican #jamaicanwomen #chocolatebeauty #3generations #threegenerationsofwomen #mommyandme #babyandmommy #babyandgrandma #throwbackthursday #tbt #Jamaica

#blackandwhite #fourgenerations I love this picture for so many reasons.....This picture represents four generations of women in my family. My grandmother just turned 80 this past Tuesday, and she is just as spry and witty as she was in this photograph. Cherish your family while they're here, love on the elders and soak up as much wisdom and knowledge that you can from them. You'll be glad you did.
