NEVER,EVER 2ND GUESS YOURSELF!!!

We will have people question what we do and how we do it. We will have people even question our existence.It's normal. NEVER, EVER allow their questions to make you 2nd guess yourself. We are all put on this earth for a PURPOSE. You must find what your purpose is and act upon it. People will question what your doing, your motives and may even try to sabotage what your doing. Don't let it bother you. It's to be expected. Those who have yet to find their own purpose can't fully understand what your purpose is. To be honest many will never understand. When you are being sent and guided by God it doesn't matter who isn't getting the methodology to what your doing. You have NOTHING to prove to no one but yourself. Prove to yourself that you can accomplish all you set out to do despite the naysayers and the back biters. You can't be mad at them. There's really not time to acknowledge what they say. You must ALWAYS K.I.M = Keep It Moving.

It's Not Where Your From..It's Where Your At

Growing up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn I had the opportunity to grow up around a very diverse group of people.It was a melting pot consisting of people who came from Jamaica,Panama,Guyana,Trinidad & Tobago,Hati,Puerto Rico,Dominican Republic and a host other places. It was there I learned the difference between Koreans,Filipinos,Chinese and Japanese. Growing up around such a diverse group of people gave me he chance to learn about their cultures, traditions and customs. My Mom taught me to learn about other people's cultures. Not to pre-judge them before getting to know them. 1 of the unfortunate things I learned was prejudice.You can have the same skin color as a group of people and still have them not like you because of your cultural differences. They see the differences instead of looking at the common threads that bind us all together. We share the same struggles and concerns despite coming from different places. Some of us even share the same skin color and yet we don't like one another because of the part of the world we were born in.None of us can help where we were born, we just make the best of the hand we were dealt. We tend to not like someone because of where they were born and their cultural differences. Instead we should get to know the person. Learn about their culture and learn how they grew up and you will see more similarities than differences. Let's dispel those myths that women can't come together. Let's even dispel those myths that despite our cultures,generations of prejudice we can come together and bond.
With the She-ro Project we plan to bring women together who were born in different countries,different backgrounds and ages. Let's come together to grow and learn about the ties that bind us together.

Fasting & Holding Fast

Periodically I fast to get clarity,guidance & direction from God. During my Fast I commune more with God. Pray more and work on ME more. Every time I fast something happens both BAD & GOOD. God shows me who is who. The time prior to this I had something really devastating happen and all I could do was cry, dry my eyes, be still,hold on & PRAY. Storms don't last forever. We all know that after the rain there's ALWAYS a rainbow. When fasting the GOOD outweighs the BAD all the time. Most people would have given up and stopped fasting especially when it comes with the BAD but its the BAD that makes me appreciate the GOOD. So I will continue my fast. Continue communing with God and continue to allow Him to show me all the things that I need to see.I find myself teary eyed during my times of prayer because of all the things God is doing for me and IN ME. God's pouring into me so that I can pour into others. That's why the She-ro Project is so important to me.
So now when I fast I brace myself.I'm on Day 4 of my fast and something already happened on day 3. I didn't let it rock me. I stood strong, firm on the ROCK and didn't allow my faith to waiver none. I was prepared..When you know..You KNOW!!! They saying know is half the battle. I say "Knowing is VICTORIOUS".
So I am holding FAST during this fast....10 more days of Fasting.....

I Had No Clue....

The She-ro Project made its debut in January 2001 but the actual conception date goes as far back as 2006. I started a She-ro Awards Ceremony Honoring business Women who have assisted other business in their journey spiritually,emotionally or even financially.The 1st ceremony was small and cozy and I felt great being able to honor such great women. My plan was to continue to do it every year there after. Unfortunately lack of funds became a problem. I was struggling with my business and was unable to do in in 2007. So years went by and I continued my struggling busines while working f a full time job. In 2009 I took a leap of faith and left my job. I wasn't happy there and not giving 100% to the job as I should have. I left and haven't look back. So after giving my business the attention that it needed to blossom into this BEAUTIFUL entity that you see today. It prompted me to start the Kiddie Cookie Academy and revisit the She-ro Awards Ceremony. Now we are talking 5 years later and things have changed.I now look at things from a different perspective. So with that I felt the need to take the She-ro Awards Ceremony and create a MOVEMENT instead. This is something God put in my spirit to do.
The women of today are in need of empowering, uplifting & inspiring movements so that we can moves towards a better US. We have lost our way somewhere, somehow. The where and the how is not important. What's important is that we address the issues that plague us and start working towards a resolution to the many problems.
I was told that "Your not going to be able to do it". Today I am laughing because its getting done. The movement has been created. Going in a great direction at a great pace to boot. I come from a long line of survivors, warriors, go getters who laughed in the face of adversity. There's an Africa proverb that asks "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is "One Bite At A Time". I have my plate, knife & fork. Iam sitting at the table ready to eat this elephant. We need people who have this same attitude to assist in getting this project where I'd like it to go. I hope to see you at the feast.
We are currently selling She-ro T-Shirts to fund our many projects. We are in the process of turning this into a non-profit organization
We plan to hold open forums like our State of The Woman Address where we plan to discuss the problems and try to figure out what needs to be done to bring about change. Change starts with SELF. If we can get people to recognize this and possible see that We need to be the change we want to see. We also plan to mentor the generation that will follow us. So stay tuned for the many wonderful things we will offer in the upcoming months
