In celebration of women's month: "Grown Woman"

She’s a woman. A women full of spirit. A women full of love. A woman who stands her ground.

An assertive woman.

A woman who is worthy of all the greatness that the world has to offer. She’s a woman deserving of her own fairy-tale and prosperous dreams that do come true.

She is a woman. A phenomenal woman.

She doesn’t allow the world to silence her or invalidate her feelings to be “dramatic” or “over reacting”. No!

She is indeed a grown woman who knows her worth.

Zozibini Tunzi speaks to all woman when she says, “Nothing is more important than taking up space in society and cementing yourself”.

Yes, take up space and cement yourself in your dreams, your true desires and what you aspire to be. Your dreams can never be too big or ‘unrealistic’.

It is okay to shine, it is okay to shine bright like the sunlight.

Bloom! Bloom and take ownership of yourself and your dreams.

You need to be the author to your own life. Be an author to your own life.

You are your own superpower.

Do not give anyone the power to be the author to your own life.

If you believe in yourself and love yourself- I say it again, no one can ever have power over you because you are worthy of all that life has to offer. You are a superwoman.

There will be bad days where you feel that you no longer can hold on - give yourself permission to rest.

Always be kind and gentle to yourself.

So that when you do show up again, you do so fully and intentionally.

Do nothing without intention.

Always think of the bigger picture ahead, the rainbow that arrives after a heavy storm.

Again, you are a superwoman, a phenomenal woman.

Find that strength in yourself.

In the words of Maya Angelou, “You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness but still, like the air, I’ll rise!”
