As I consider my life’s journey and the individuals that make up my personal sisterhood, I understand that my success is not just about me. It is about all women attached to me succeeding and obtaining their goals. Every day I wake up and pray for opportunities to be blessed and to be a blessing to my sisters. I will share a few mantras that I live by when dealing with my personal sister hood:
1. Treat everyone as you want to be treated. – Value other women as you value yourself. “Hopefully you value and love yourself but even if you don’t the sister hood you are a part of will help you”. Think about what it is like to walk in their shoes and what they need. Is it encouragement, support, understanding and a kind word. If so, help a sister who is less experienced, new on the job, be a connector or a resource, help them figure out their next steps. Remember, someone did it for you, so you should also pay it

  • Argumentative Essay On Safe Space
