As Black women, we have power beyond what most can imagine. We are powerful beyond measure. We exude a quiet strength that undergirds our families and our entire community. Black women use our knowledge and power to change the world. My superpower is my determination, positive attitude, and the ability to make things happen. My superpower is my drive, my integrity and my results-oriented philosophy in business and in life. My superpower is my critical thinking skills, problem-solving ability and creativity. My superpower is that I am an executor. My superpower is that I bring value to everything I am a part of. Last, but certainly not least, my superpower is my faith. God is with me every step of the way. I pray over not just my life and my family, but I pray over my work, my team and my clients.
