#iambecoming is a continuation of generations of women learning to lead themselves and their communities. The Becoming a Lady Who Leads Luncheon is one facet of empowering ourselves to become who we were created to be. No one can do this for us. As @oprah has stated, “No one is going to save you.” We must save ourselves. We must love and honor ourselves. We must create the life we desire. We are just that powerful! Thank you @michelleobama for the inspiration. My girls are committed to this journey. Thank you @Oprah for the relentless push, even from afar. Never fear folks….in NC we are a crew of women and girls destined and determined to become. #iambecoming (See full photo album on my FB page). #thepointcollegeprepandleadershipacademy
