What would you define as a Woman Warrior ? The definition of a warrior is a brave , experienced soldier or fighter . I believe that bravely is an instinct that you are born with . However , bravery doesn ’ t necessarily translate to wisdom ; that is where experience comes in . I found that once I combined my bravery with knowledge , wisdom , and understanding , it was much easier to fight battles head-on . I wasn ’ t victorious in every battle , but I won because at least I had the heart to fight .

What are your current endeavors and future goals ? I pray I live long enough to watch my only child grow up healthy and have all of the opportunities I did not have growing up . I pray I leave the world a little better than I found it , and when my time on earth has expired , I want to hear my creator say , ‘ well done you withstood the test , whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine , you did for me .’
What word of advice would you like to share ? My advice is to be careful who you take advice from ; Yes , it is ok to listen to various opinions but always remember that your purpose is not their purpose . We are all unique and created for various reasons , so dig deep and discern your purpose and allow that to be your guide . n
