Leadership, Women’s Empowerment, Social Justice, Growth, and Authenticity. Leadership: I naturally gravitate towards leadership roles. I am passionate about making sure everyone feels heard, and that we are capitalizing on each person's unique gifts. If they don't know what those are, we will find them. Women's Empowerment: It's time for women to take their rightful place. People often envision feminine energy as being meek and mild, but when a mother lion protects her cubs, there's nothing gentle about that. Femininity is fierce, wise, creative, formidable and nurturing. It is the quiet and controlled rage that simmers before it boils over at just the right moment. Women are wise healers and fierce protectors. Social Justice: I never understood how people could accept the injustices in our world as normal. Privilege allows people to say, "oh how terrible" and then never think about it again. Then you have the people that want to deny that these social justices exist. It's like a doctor looking at the top layer of your skin, and saying that there's nothing wrong, but you know that the problem is deep in the belly. They don't have the capacity to see below the surface, so they assume the problem doesn't exist. Until we restructure our society to be just, which will take decades, we will all be oppressed. We have to start now. Growth: When we talk about the challenges of social justice, we have to be willing to accept that these belief systems were handed to us so long ago, that we don't even know that they're hiding there, but once we recognize these patterns of thought in accepting stereotypes as fact, or having a reaction that is steeped in discrimination, we have to be willing to unravel that belief system, and replace it with one born from unconditional love. Authenticity: I don't have a persona. I try really hard to bring the best of myself to my clients, but I don't have a character I'm trying to create. Whether you see me in the wild, or on social media this is me. I would rather say nothing than pretend to be something I'm not. I have been criticized in the past for sharing my opinion, but if someone says something hateful, I'm going to ask why they would say that. If someone says something bad about themselves, I'm going to find something beautiful about them. This is just who I am. I don't have the energy to pretend. I know I have something to offer this world. I have valuable gifts, and I am passionate about using them for good.
