MARCH 2025: 1-2 | 3-9 | 10-16 | 17-23 | 24-30 | 31
March is Women’s History Month. It’s important because women are the guardians of culture.
There are no U.S. national holidays in March. International Women’s Day (March 8) and St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) are popular holidays. Carnival Tuesday, the climax of the world’s biggest Latin party, is March 4, 2025.
March weather is early spring. Average temperatures range from 36° – 51°F (2°-10°C), so it’s still cold.

The Indigenous African mix is common in the Americas because both escaped the colonizers together. Yemayá, the great mother orisha of the sea, is a beloved Yoruba orisha. She is the mother of us all. When a woman is about to give birth, her water, her inner sea breaks. Somos hijos del mar (We are children of the sea). Editor KíkoKí: Soy un hijo. Maferefún Yemayá. Ashé!
