Individuals who see the good and are enthusiastic about others, job, community, life and family. They are not discouraged by the negatives. They see potential in how change can happen. Then they work towards it.

What advice do you have for others?

Keep it real. Be kind. You can be real and still be kind.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned on your journey?

Don’t let fear win. Push yourself outside your comfort zone. You’ll miss out on so much if you don’t.

What does your vision for our community look like?

I think the vision for our community it bright. We have taken steps towards making this community something to be proud of.

What does "Equal - Powerful - Unstoppable" mean to you?

The future. Women and girls are able to do anything they put their mind to. Tell us no, see what we do.
