Belief is more than encouragement. It’s a form of favor that breathes life into dormant dreams, ignites courage, and validates worth. And when someone—be it a teacher, a friend, a sister, a mother, or a mentor—believes in you, they are reflecting the very nature of God. Because God believed in us first.

There is something sacred, something powerful, and something holy about a Black woman who keeps showing up.

Words can uplift, but they can also wound. They can liberate, or they can imprison. They can heal, or they can destroy.

For far too long, the image of the Black woman has been distorted, dismissed, or diminished.

The ability to stand alone, even when the world turns away, is a defining characteristic of strong women.
