Today is International Women’s Day. As a woman, at times I find it difficult to know when to take charge, take the lead, and when to be still. My perspective on my life changed recently after going to see Marvel’s Black Panther. the women in the movie were strong, powerful, and confident in who they were. They weren’t afraid to fight. They weren’t afraid to go toe to toe and fight. One of my favorite characters in the movie was Okoye. Okoya was the general and the HEAD of  Wakanda’s armed forces and intel. She was bald, fierce. and beautiful. She was a leader! I needed the reminder. I needed to see that being a strong leader is not a bad thing. It’s powerful.

Who are you? What do you want? Are you willing to get up and go get it? The ball is in your court…

Lesson of the day:

It’s time to stop playing small.

Take charge of your life. The things you want are waiting for you. It ain’t just going to fall in your lap. You can either sit there and wait and see or you can take over. Get up and see what you’re made of. Take a step or take a leap … take action.
