Unfortunately, at the request of both women, no one was allowed to take pictures so I can't really share my experience with anyone other than my sister who experienced it with me. Oprah and Maya together are very magical and energizing. The two together in dialogue touched on different aspects of their lives, both good and bad, and how they got to be where they are now and the women that they are today. They talked about all that women still have to endure to survive in this male dominated society, as both mothers and professionals, either working in the home or out in the field. The message that I left with and think about when I need to bring myself up is that all women, regardless of race, color, sexual preference, socio-economic status or any other factor that may separate us, is that we are all phenomenal women in our own ways.
Women have and continue to be phenomenal in every sense of the word.
With this month highlighting Mothers day, people take one day out of the year to acknowledge the hard work that we women, single or married have in both working and raising our children. I praise and applaud all women but give an extra special thumbs up to my Cape Verdean women and mothers. I leave you with this inspiring poem, copy it and put it somewhere so that when you need to be reenergized, you can read it. But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips, I'm a woman Phenomenally, Phenomenal woman, That's me.
