I Am Day is celebrated on March 8 and encourages individuals, particularly women, to affirm their self-worth and identity. Founded by the organizations Sisters Helping Each Other and She Rocks It, the day promotes self-reflection and community support through practices such as journaling, sharing affirmations, and creating "I Am" declarations. Participants are encouraged to express their strengths and values, moving away from negative self-talk. The inaugural celebration took place in northern Illinois and included notable women such as politicians and business leaders, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and support in personal development. The day aims to remind everyone that their inherent value is not defined by external pressures or comparisons. Activities can range from quiet reflection to group gatherings, fostering a collective spirit of encouragement and self-acceptance.
