Just the Beginning...
I didn't want to wait one moment to write this blog to update you on my
trip to a fabulous women's event at North Carolina Central!For those of you who you don't know I am a serious advocate for women. I have been groomed to be this way since my entire life has been inspired by empowered women!
North Carolina Central University is one of 2 public HBCU'S that has a thriving women's center. Upon my arrival I was greeted with more love and respect than I ever anticipated. Beyond their amazing hospitality, they are huge advocates for rape and domestic violence prevention. It was awesome to be invited by such a trailblazing university.
My first afternoon there I signed autographs and spent a great deal of time with some of the female students. What we shared was a covenant bond. They poured their hearts out to me and I did the same with them. This was no ordinary autograph session! This was a moment, ordained by God and I was determined to soak it up.
The purpose of this event was to celebrate 8 young women who completed a university supported program that would help them become healthier and productive women! How befitting, the program is entitled " The Circle Of Sisters". I felt like they welcomed me into their intimate circle and I am so grateful for that. You know, everyone shouldn't be welcomed in your
circle... so I didn't take their warmth for granted.
The weekend ended with a lovely banquet where I was asked to address the graduates. My final words for them was that THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING...
I say the same to you...
Prepare yourself for the great things that God has in store for you!
The young ladies and staff of North Carolina Central have truly changed my
life.
