Our potentials go far beyond, what the naked eye can see.

The Sky is the Limit!!!!!

Introduction

Why women are still expected to do what men call the norm for women?

This book is focused on reminding women that we are capable of doing whatever we want to and not what others think we should be doing. It’s not a matter of living big on the outside with money, big houses, and fancy jewelry but living big on the inside. Women we are someone in the lord and I want you to know the lord will see us through.

For years, women have been tagged with labels that we should be stay at home moms, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry, but it’s time we got viewed for our outstanding ideas, capabilites, and ambition. We need for people to see the whole-picture and not just the frame. Regardless of who you are and where you are from, you can triumph over the odds that are against you. You longer need to go along with the crowd trying to be the person others think you should be; however, we need to stand strong, gain more access to the labour market, close the wage gaps, and avoid falling through the promotion cracks.

Women we deserve the chance to make a non-discriminatory salary, the opportunity to fill managment positions within our place of employment, and to be equally respected for the impacts we make throughout the workforce. We are faced with many challenges and additional obstacles that our counterparts are not required to tackle.
