Believing in Yourself: Emmy Award Winner Sherly Lee Ralph
Over this empowerment series we talked about women loving ourselves. That will take whatever form it takes and only you can do that internal work to make your life what it needs to be.
That is even before you think about aligning yourself. You have to be complete and whole in who you are before you want to be someone’s wife and/or mother. It is a tall order but when you do it right with the right person, it is a powerful set up for a life of fulfillment and legacy.
Women have been, throughout history, treated as lesser than. As second-class citizens, women had to fight for our voices to be heard, our medica l issues understood and our unique gender respected.
On the heels of that history, many women, global leaders, mothers, dynamic evangelist, actresses, speakers and servicewomen have graced our lives with an impact for young women to follow.
God did not create us as mediocre men. But as uniquely important to the work of humanity and the will of God.
Actress Sheryl Lee Ralph shows up to Ted Talks to tell us how amongst this life we are to believe in ourselves, and we can show up fully.

Ladies, you have a God-given purpose that is only for you. But you must show up in your own life fully to believe in that before you can even begin down the road for an Iconic marriage.
You can do anything through Christ that strengthens you.
You are more than a conqueror.
You were wonderfully made.
Watch as Sheryl delivers words of wisdom for you.
Believe that. And go be Iconic.
