Kim Kardashian praised her ‘strong’ mentors in a sweet Instagram message to honour International Women’s Day on Monday.
The media personality, 39, was joined by the likes of human rights attorney Jessica Jackson and Alice Marie Johnson – whose life sentence she helped commute in 2018 – as they visited the White House in Washington, D.C to discuss criminal justice reform.
Reality TV star Kim captioned her post: ‘I know I’m a day late but Happy International Women’s Day to all of the strong women out there!’

Posing in front of President Donald Trump’s official residence, the trailblazer added: ‘[Here are] the women I look up to: Jessica Jackson, Erin Haney, Alice Johnson and Judith Negron, Crystal Munoz, and Tynice Nichole Hall who just had their lengthy prison sentences commuted.’
The mother-of-four teased details of their chat as she added: ‘We went in there powerful together and had some amazing ideas for the future. I pray they come to fruition and that I can share it with you all soon!’
Kim, who shares North, six, Saint, four, Chicago, two, and Psalm, nine months, with husband Kanye West, exuded sophistication as she was dressed in a structured white suit by Dior, teamed with a metallic Hermes handbag.
International Women’s Day, which took place on Sunday, is held every year to recognise the advancement of women’s rights and gender equality.

Alabama native Jessica, 37, is the co-founder of #cut50, a campaign aimed at reducing the incarceration rate in America, while colleague Erin serves as the initiative’s National Policy Director.
The make-up mogul previously made visits to the capital to lobby the pardon of her close friend Alice, who was serving life without parole for drug offenses.
Alice was sentenced to life in prison in 1997 for committing a first-time nonviolent drug crime in Memphis, news which Kim first heard about on Twitter.
Last month, Kim, Alice and #cut50 support Trump’s decision to cut short the sentences of drug conspiracy convicts Tynice and Crystal and white collar criminal Judith Negron.

For the past few years, the KUWTK star has been using her status to shine a light on criminal justice reform.
Earlier this year, Kim teased an upcoming documentary on the cable channel Oxygen, titled Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project.
Debuting on April 5, the two-hour film will show the TV star visiting prisons and working alongside legal experts on four cases of people they believe have been unfairly sentenced.
‘There is a mass incarceration problem in the United States. People deserve a second chance,’ she says in the clip.

At a discussion about her new film, Kim was asked how she would respond to people who may think she had attached herself to the cause in order to burnish her well-known brand.
‘I’m very used to criticism, so nothing really fazes me,’ the Los Angeles native said at the event organized by the Television Critics Association.
She added: ‘I really genuinely just stay focused on the cases and the people. I’m not doing it for publicity. I really do care.’
The social media influencer – who is aiming to take her bar exam in 2022 – works daily on her law studies for a total of 20 hours per week and just completed her first year of her four-year law apprenticeship course in California.
