I’m no journalist, columnist or expert writer; I’m just a woman with a passion for mentoring and motivating young girls.
One Sunday evening, I was searching the web for an inspirational story to blog about, and I stumbled upon Dell’s “Pay it Forward” initiative that was launched in June of this year. After watching their video, I was moved. I thought, I must blog about this ... in hopes of inspiring other women and/or helping by educating them on the program; an opportunity they may benefit from.
After blogging, to my surprise, our site received over a 2000% increase in views in 19 countries including, to name a few, the United States, Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand and Norway in less than 48 hours!
This only further solidifies my claim that women and girl empowerment is essential in today’s world. People crave this information; they embrace it. It’s fact that most women are the primary caregivers within the household. More and more corporations and organizations have gotten on board to support women empowerment initiatives. I am proud of such effort … we’ve come a long way since the 40s, 50s and even the 90s.
Dove, GoldmanSachs, Coca-Cola, Spanx, Walmart, Gucci, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Dell, countless celebrities and public figures ... it's great to have so much support assisting women with their quest to be successful. Through the Foundation, we mentor, mode and train our young girls; we enable them with the knowledge, confidence and self-esteem to apply for such programs.
There is such a lack of confidence and self-awareness amongst youth today, especially with young ladies, and that saddens us; it should sadden all of us!
