Women are an eternally special and integral part of the world. They are lifebearers and caregivers. More often than not, they juggle a full-time job that provides compensation and an additional full-time job in the home that does not provide additional compensation or adequate recognition. It seems that much of the accolades that do go to women go only to those of great influence and power within the public eye. Behind the scenes and behind the public eye, there are women of great impact. These are their stories.
This book is a collection of stories of women who have made an everlasting impact on my life. These women have been a paramount influence in shaping me into the woman I am today. They are makers and artists, doctors and chefs, financial officers and volunteers, peacekeepers and changemakers. They have pushed me forward and guided me along and I am endlessly grateful to have them in my corner. The impact we leave on one another is the greatest gift of all. Who you are is defined by those you surround yourself with.
"A woman needs to keep with her at all times a screwdriver, $100 bill, red lipstick, and a black pair of panties. This, Samantha, will get a woman out of any situation." - Franza Bragg, A Woman of Impact
