The Everyday Type of Woman We All Need
We were about three days into a world-renowned life and wealth mastery retreat, traveling over 12 hours to the beautiful islands of Fiji in mid-July of 2018. We were sweaty, musty, hungry, emotional, and so keenly aware of how our bodies were processing the fast and juice cleanse that started on day one of this retreat. This was only one of the amazing (and very smelly) portions of the retreat.

As above so below
We are living in promising times of scientific discovery and civil innovation. Harnessing the inexhaustible power of the sun through nuclear fusion, for instance, opens a doorway for a cleaner planet as well as improvement in the efficiency and capability of humanity in all aspects. As modern science supports, the material that comprises our bodies is traceable to the birth of the stars. And every moving part in the cosmic highway, from torrential weather to a mere neurological impulse, reverberates from the inception of the entire universe. The Hermetica, texts as old as the calendar states “As above so below, as within, so without, as the universe so the soul”. It's not too farfetched to consider it intuitive. What I gather is that like the limitless resource that created the planets, our spirits can also run on a renewable resource. Such a foundation is what we find in the examples of strong, achieving individuals that push boundaries of human capability, such as astronauts.

Taking the Plunge
I know this is probably overdone and over thought but it does not make this any less scary. The fact that I am leaving the world of a regular paychecks, health insurance, a daily routine, to go back to school in hopes that I will be able to change my career path to something I am happier with, but perhaps not quite the paycheck I want? To leave and ensure I will be in debt come graduation day and hope to god I find a job in this economy (hopefully post Covid-19 crisis). Unfathomable!

Women Who Inspire
Let me tell you about a woman who not only inspires me, she is an inspiration to many. I have known her since 2003 and since our initial acquaintance, she has not ceased to be a source of strength, encouragement and imeasureable enthusiasm no matter what the circumstances faced. Her name is Dagne Barton. Dagne has a bachelors in Business Administration and a Masters in Non Profit Leadership. She is a consummate professional as Executive Assistant. Dagne is a wife and mother, sister to many. She has devoted her life to her family and to the calling on her life.

Hard beginnings
There it wasn’t so difficult, typing the first word. Reading this, I understand that your perspective may be different, but starting new ventures or musical instruments or ideas are hard for me. In this case, beginning new things in our lives can be quite challenging. Maybe you make a list or a target, a goal or you write a whole list of accomplishments on a post-it note and you become excited or daunted about the next step. And then actually continuing on that path results in overcoming a serious mental block. For me, I can see myself after the beginning somehow, but I find the start to be a confusing place. It’s a new experience, a place where you have no memories.

Women Who Inspire: How My Environmental Justice and Civil Rights Activist Sister, Joanne Groom, Motivated Me
While studying abroad for college in South Africa, I had the intentions of studying public health and learning about a post apartheid society. Little did I know that I would be meeting astounding women and would soon be among them--swept up in politics and boldly making differences in my own locality of Boston. Despite being away from my mother and sister for months (which is the nature of studying abroad), I found other mother-like and sister-like figures; which I feel immensely grateful for. These included the local health workers in rural Nzinga, the nurses in Pietermaritzburg Hospital, the housing and infrastructure activists at Wentworth, and the land reformist professors of University of Kwazulu Natal. But one incredibly supportive, passionate, and kind-hearted soul who really stuck out to me was Joanne Groom. While I lived in the neighborhood of Wentworth, Durban, South Africa, I met Joanne who was the media and communications officer of South Durban Community Environmental Alliance: SDCEA--an environmental justice NGO which invests in helping Durban reduce air pollution. 50% of the children in Durban have asthma as a result of pollution; and that is only one effect of it. While many only think about the long term effects of air pollution (global warming), there are people now suffering from the short term.

My Heart
There are so many facets of my life where someone has been a guide, a mentor or an inspiration. However, there has been one person who had been close to me, even at a distance, who “got me” right to the heart. A mother’s love is the mainstay in a girl’s life to be that guide to womanhood. Yet an individual who endured the uphill challenges and still be a successful template for greatness to me, was far beyond any inspiration I’ve had.
