Give Yourself Permission to Win

Women of color often face societal and cultural conditioning that causes them to wait for permission to take up space, step into leadership roles, and pursue their aspirations. This conditioning forces women to believe they must possess the necessary credentials, extensive experience, and external approvals before taking risks.

However, women should take the initiative and seize opportunities without needing permission to strive for greatness.

When examining the experiences of inspirational women, it becomes clear that many did not wait for the perfect moment or ideal circumstances to invest in themselves. They embraced uncertainty, trusted their instincts, and moved forward despite their fears. This approach can be a powerful example for others seeking to achieve their dreams and goals.

Your Potential Is Your Permission

You don’t need another certification, another nod of approval, or another validation to step into your power. Your existence, resilience, and God-given gifts are all the permission you need.

• If you’ve been thinking about starting that business - start.
• If you want to go back to school - enroll.
• If you want to switch careers - make the move.
• If you’re ready to lead - stand up.

The only person who can stop you from succeeding is yourself. Are you prepared to remove the obstacles in your path?

Fear is a Liar- But So Is Perfectionism

Fear may whisper that you’re not ready, qualified, or don’t have the right connections. Perfectionism insists that you should wait until everything is just right. The truth is, you’ll never feel 100% ready. Success belongs to those who take action, learn along the way, and are willing to embrace failure as a part of the process.

Your Future Self is Waiting on You

Envision the woman you will become in five years if you start today. She is confident and walking in her purpose. She can only exist by choosing to believe in herself now.

Sis, you don’t need permission to shine. The world is waiting for what only you can offer. Believe in yourself because your time is now.
