It takes a village to raise a child is a proverb I grew up on. When I reflect on the most important piece of information, I’ve received in life it always leads me back to a conversation I had with my mom. Her message was loud, clear and consistent to FINISH school. Those words continued to ring in my ear after she passed away. I witnessed my grandmother work several jobs just to make sure I was ok. What I now realize is that I had a lineage of women paving a way for me to be great. The sweat, tears and sacrifices were all for me to grow up to be better than they were yesterday. I honored my mother's request and graduated from college. I am thankful that she planted a seed of setting goals early in life and created a foundation for higher expectations.
The insight I gained from my ancestry makes me the woman I am today. In 2012 I developed a non-profit organization. I wanted girl to know, I know the challenges of growing up wanting your mom, I know the challenges growing up not feeling like enough, I know the challenges of growing up not feeling connected. All I wanted to scream out through all of this is I made it and so can you. It’s my privilege to honor those who paved a way before me to create a company dedicated to lending a voice to girls and women. Empress, a woman of great power or influence is who they were and what I embody today.
