Empowered Women Empower: Building Strong Female Friendships

"I can do things you cannot, and you can do things I cannot. Together, we can achieve great things."

Mother Teresa

It is often said that we are the sum of the five closest people around us. When I evaluate those five, I want to feel proud.

I seek fierce friendships among women—relationships that ardently believe in one another, defend each other, and genuinely believe that each deserves the world.

A circle of women has the potential to become the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have such a circle, embrace it. If you need one, seek it out. And if you find one, dive in, hold on, and cherish it with love.

You must allow yourself to be vulnerable. Let them see you, hold you, and let your tears flow freely. Through vulnerability, you will rise with strength and love, forever changed.

Empower them, for empowered women empower women. Never attempt to compliment me by insulting another woman.

Women, girls, love each other radically. Remember, God created every woman in this world, including you, and it was good—flawed, imperfect, and broken, yet inherently good.

Let us put an end to backstabbing, gossiping, harassment, and tearing each other down. Instead, let us encourage, believe in, love, and empower one another as we rise together.
