Thanks for including me in this list of strong woman. This means a lot to me. My hard work and dedication will eventually pay off.
You and my mother have played a huge role in the woman that I have become.
I want to let other woman out there that may read this to know that they may sometimes be faced with obstacles, but do not give up on your dreams or goals. Sometimes it is the obstacles that make you stronger and more focused. I have learned this hands on. No matter what I am faced with in life, I do not let it hold me back and I definetly don't give up. I just know that I have to work a little harder.
I would like to add Trinessa Brown to the list. She ia a mother of 3, intelligent, a hard worker and phenomenal friend.

I know that with out some of these awesome women there would be no awesome me! I am thankful for all of the love and support that i have in my life and would not change a thing! To all the awesome women in the world thank you! :-)
