Encouragement gets people through their projects. Discouragement and fear are real parts of being a woman, especially for Black, Indigenous women, sexual minorities, transwomen, and women of color. It is rough. And if you have a less than stellar in-person support system -people who believe in you and your vision of a better world- it is even harder.
The images naturally sorted themselves into four significant themes: abundance, strength, creativity, and community. A number of business problems can be solved by using these four areas as a lens to focus on solutions.
To use this book and images, pull one randomly to give your brain a brainstorming/problem solving prompt. I have included journal ideas and other suggestions for most affirmations. Some speak for themselves and need no extra verbiage. All of them are here for you in times of conflict, confusion, or overwhelm.
At no point should you use any of these sayings as a club to beat yourself. In my mind, we are all reaching across time and space to help each other succeed. The affirmations come to you with warmth, joy, and a sense of exploration.
I want all women who read this book to find succor, courage, and sisterhood here. I see you. I believe in you. Together, we are unstoppable.
