We all have purpose even if we're still striving to understand what that is

When I decided as a teenager, that acting would be my path

Whether I recognized it or not

I was walking towards my purpose as a young actress trying to make my way

Survival figured into the equation but not so much that I was ever willing to compromise my integrity

Is that there will be times when you seemingly

face

Insurmountable obstacles, but that's when you dig deep into your soul for the courage and the fortitude

To keep going and to never to never forget that despite life's detours

You are destined for greatness

So when you're told you're not good enough you tell them

Not only am I good enough.

I'm more than enough

When they say send her back home, you tell them I am home when they tell you

That you're angry or nasty

You tell them that they're mistaken

this

is me, this is me being resolute and

Standing firmly in my truth and when they say you're not beautiful

you tell them that you are the descendant

of royalty I've encouraged you to take this experience with you as you go about your respective journeys

If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn this world upside down

These women together

ought to be able to turn it right again so sisters we have much work to do and

together we are

unstoppable

Always remember that our voices

The very power that we hold

individually and

all of us collectively

It does matter!

Now is not the time to be silent find your purpose

pursue it relentlessly

Passionately and loudly

Be

Persistent and win!
