How are women able to join?
Our process is pretty basic, you know: filling out the form, having a conversation with the group of women [and] saying you would like to join.
It’s important that the women that are joining are like-minded and just all around are about growth and learning and helping to develop one another. Regardless of what your experiences may have been, God gave you an opportunity for a reason.
Explain how this organization has most impacted you.
I think it’s the support of strangers that has really humbled me. The support and sisterhood that I have received from women that I have never met. Whether they sponsored or just supported other women, just that sense of unity has really made me look at humanity and want to support in a different light. Nowadays, support is normally different than what you expect. You just can’t box support.
What’s next for the organization?
We would like to focus more on younger girls. Our next generation is who needs the most support. Explaining to them that they have the opportunity to be just as successful in other ways than society deems you to be successful.
