When a woman understands her purpose, she is unstoppable and empowered. Finding your purpose is more than obtaining a degree, a successful career, a loving relationship, or a family.

It requires you to remain consistent and allow these experiences daily to shape and mold your dreams and visions. The experiences you have will expose your true purpose and desires over time.

- Do you know the injustices that affect you? Many times, the things that motivate us to accomplish something or create a movement is out of the things that bother us and make us gravely disgruntled.
