Dignity
“When you look back — and even presently — women are always on the front lines of civil liberties movements . . .”
… This fact reaffirms that we are leaders. Although we may not see ourselves as such, or desire it, because what’s more important for some of us is having the opportunity to raise the next generation of leaders. We endure oppression; we’ve experienced suppression. Women’s innate gifts are forgiveness, nurturing, caring, loving, being compassionate, as well as being able to empathize. That is what we teach and offer the world. Women are the first to hold us and teach us; the first to guide us and offer us direction.
Like our ancestors before us, the future generations can look upon the part we played in history and know that it is with them in our hearts and minds that we embraced literacy as a tool to strengthen our sacred circles. May our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual growth facilitate development that betters this world.”
