This week's quote comes from someone I hope to meet one day. I think all of us would say that we feel like she is one of us...someone we can trust...someone we'd love to meet at our local Starbucks and chat for a while on motherhood, the challenges of being real despite the efforts of our culture to make us otherwise...and leadership.
So here goes: Guess! I dare ya!
"I'm an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. You too can control your own destiny."
After she spoke, someone went to shake her hand, and she said, 'No, I don't do that. I hug."
So...who is our mystery woman?
Michelle Obama?
ReplyDeleteYep...Jill you are right!
ReplyDeleteIt had to be!!
ReplyDeleteI can just feel that even through media pictures.
It makes me think of Maya Angelou's poem Phenomenal Woman... you can read it here and many other places... http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=178942
Cheers to all of us phenomenal women!
