Pssst....SHE IS BACK!

Hello NuShu Sisters!
I'm baaaaack! I took time-out to leave my office a bit and check out the rest of the globe. Having completed my doctorate program, traveling to 15 countries and graduating last May, I’m ecstatic to be done with my very challenging 3-year program. In my travels, I discovered so many amazing leaders, programs, and fabulous men and women making significant changes for our kind.
One of my favorite encounters was meeting Trymore in a downtown street market of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. He had no idea what I did but he knew I was traveling for my leadership program. He proceeded to tell me about his leadership dreams and how his nation is in peril because of how poorly they treat their women. So in response to this, aside from running the downtown markets, he also runs "HeShe" classes where he teaches men how to treat women and empowers women to be strong and independent. His name is fitting for despite how his country is falling apart around him, he is "trying more" to make his country a better place for women. He created a painting illustrating women to be the backbone or the spine of the country. Trymore was careful to point out how the women standing closely together looked like a spine and the babies they carried on their backs were the men to be. It hangs proudly in my dining room.
After I listened to him, I told him about NuShu Sisters, to which he passionately responded, "We need to bring NuShu Sisters to Zimbabwe." Maybe Trymore...maybe. He may not know it, but Trymore is helping us build NuShu Nation where we all, regardless of gender, treat each other with love, dignity, and respect as we partner together to make great communities.
What an exciting year this has been for women! Setting us off, the Women's March in 2019 has helped dub this "The Era of Women", so I believe it has never been a better time to be a woman. NuShu Sisters is on the move and we have a positive message to send. My amazing daughter, McKenna is hitting homeruns on social media for us so check us out, like us, and share the love.
In celebration of resuming NuShu Sisters, I wrote a little diddy...a Haiku poem. This has become an easy and fun way for me to share my thoughts. Enjoy!

When beauty rises
Greatness blooms fearlessly
Love covers her well
As the beauty comes
Nothing can compete with her
For she lives with strength
Laughing at the fears
She plays deep into the night
Safe from harm within
Nothing keeps her down
She is Her and life to all
Beauty has risen

More to come...keep watching for us. We are on the rise.
