"To me, power is the authority and ability to command productivity."
Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: One of my businesses is Women of Dominion International, llc. It is a cultivation center designed to give both group and personalized training to women who have yet to discover their purpose in life, aid in the implementation of that purpose and to guide them in collaborating with others of similar visions globally. Once the business is strengthened, the individual must deliberately scout out other women who desires and are ready to pursue their purpose. Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: (1) Be certain that you are pursuing a meaningful business idea that is bursting to leap out of you and you will do even if no one paid you. Distinguish this from a hobby and know your sphere of dominance. (2) Develop a diversified financial portfolio. In addition to a working fund, and high yield savings account, acquire assets. For example, invest in jewelry that has value. Costume jewelry is great for a party but it cannot catch you should your cash flow become depleted. In 2008 many people lost a good portion if not all of their 401 (k) and retirement funds. What is next for you and your brand? What is next for my brand is providing scholarships to the women who have completed our training session to pursue education in their field or start up capital for those who launch their business and have completed our training sessions. How can readers support your business + connect with you online?

"I define Power as the authority or ability to act, direct, achieve, or influence."
What does "Power" mean to you? I define Power as the authority or ability to act, direct, achieve, or influence. To have power is an admirable and desirable state of being. Much like Leadership; however, Power is often abused and misused. People take something that is a strength or asset to the extreme, turning it into something oppressive and controlling. I think Power is most advantageous when used in a way that elicits cooperation, collaboration, and communication. This comes from having the grace, wisdom, humility, and strength to know when to exhibit full use of one’s power…and when to show restraint. Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I refer to myself as a 4P Quadfecta Strategist – helping women launch scalable, online businesses where Purpose, Passion, Personality, and Profit converge so they can enjoy more impact, freedom, authenticity, and wealth. Women who invest in my transformative systems and programs learn how to affect change in the world, excel in their realm of expertise, and maximize their profits – all while being their most authentic selves and doing the heart and soul work that inspires and invigorates them! Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: Two of the biggest things an emerging entrepreneur can do to ensure success is practice Discipline and Consistency. Discipline is doing the “hard stuff” – the things we really don’t want to do. New entrepreneurs gravitate toward the easy tasks, but as with anything in life, growth comes from getting outside of your comfort zone and being willing to become a beginner again. Additionally, new entrepreneurs tend to expect quick results, and when they don’t see them, they’re ready to move on to something else. But it takes time to build a brand, a tribe or a business. What is next for you and your brand? I host Facebook Lives covering a variety of business and personal growth topics. However, the typical member of my tribe is a working wife and mother or a single working mother who is also trying to launch a business. This means her time is limited! So my next big project is launching a podcast so these women can listen to me at any time during the course of their day, getting snippets of inspiration and motivation as well as actionable tips – all while on the move! How can readers support your business + connect with you online? Readers can connect with me and support my business by joining the 7,000-strong, women-only “Mediocrity Escapologists” community on Facebook for new, aspiring, and established entrepreneurs.

Mikki ARLENE EALEY " I find POWER in : Preparing Opportunities While Emerging Recognition"
What does "Power" mean to you? Hummm, what a great question! POWER means different things to different people. I choose to use POWER as an acronym. I find POWER in Preparing Opportunities While Emerging Recognition. Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: When I first started Mz Social Butterfly Network, I started out as an Event Planner. I was exhausted all of the time and people didn't want to pay for their events. They wanted something extravagant but didn't have the proper budget. One day, my son said to me Mom, what do you love? I love books and I love writing. When I came home from work, my partner at the time had my whole table decorated into butterflies. He knew I loved butterflies. The birth of Mz Social Butterfly Network, LLC was born, then I added a Small Press. I published my first book in 2017 called "Ready Set Go, 30 Days of Motivation to Get You to the Next Level." I call it my coming out book, because it was time for my voice to be heard. My children kept telling me "mom you have a voice in this world". I realized this caterpillar had to turn into a butterfly once and for all. I changed from an event planning business to a small press publishing house. Now I am creating and publishing my own books. It was long overdue, I am happy. Last year, I took on my very first client. My goal is to help other writers turn into first-time Authors. Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: 1) Be open and honest to constructive criticism 2) Get to know your clients, they can help you grow your business. What is next for you and your brand? My brand is about to start creating quality products like Afrocentric journals, pens, mugs and various types of fun stuff for writers. We started off 2020 strong with speaking engagements and mentoring young girls. How can readers support your business + connect with you online? They can reach Mz Social Butterfly and I am on all Social Media.

JENNIFER BRYANT
What does “Power” mean to you? The word “Power” can have a positive or negative connotation. I view true personal power in a positive way. Real power is increased within a person, the actions they take, and the thoughts they create. True personal power comes when you’ve made a choice to live your life unashamed, unapologetic, and confidently by showing up as your authentic self. Power is accepting who you are and releasing the negative stories in your head. Fear will creep in, sending signals to your brain that you will fail. To counter that negative mindset, it is vital to fill your mind with uplifting and inspiring information to remain motivated. Power resonates feelings of hope, freedom, and being attuned with your inner self to speak truth to power and making a positive contribution to the world. Real power is what happens when people connect what they do to who they are.
It is a concrete practice that serves the purpose of being powerful with a purpose by influencing others and giving support through serving others. Serving others is key to sustainable growth and creates the influence that powerful people project - the kind that inspires and uplifts. Reach Within to bring out your personal power! You have unique powers within yourself to ignite your fire where nothing is impossible, transform your mindset, take action, and positive results will come. Find the fuel that ignites your passion. You must believe you can do it, and take the necessary steps to do the work to increase your personal power. Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact. Reaching Within, An Empowerment Journey LLC was designed to ignite fire within clients by providing tools and shifts to map out client’s short term and long term goals, new areas of interest, and areas for further development. Services include career development, resume review, interview prepping, accountability calls, and career counseling using our Visualize, Initiate, Strategies, Integration, Opportunities, Network concept in our workshops and career development program. The outcome of the program is designed to make a positive impact by equipping clients with executable steps to develop and achieve professional goals through goal setting and confidence building. Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: Get out there and strategically network: Experts agree that the most connected people are often the most successful. When you invest in your relationships — professional and personal — it can pay you back in dividends throughout the course of your career. Networking will help you develop and improve your skill set, stay on top of the latest trends in your industry, keep a pulse on the job market, meet prospective mentors, partners, and clients, and gain access to the necessary resources that will foster your career development. Hire in areas where you lack expertise: You can decide to hire an employee or outsource tasks to fill a knowledge gap. This will assist with increasing your power. Decide what’s best for your business, conduct a cost benefit analysis, and consider risks. Look at your business needs to decide whether to hire in-house staff or virtually. What is next for your business in 2020? I will continue to implement initiatives to encourage, inspire and positively impact clients professional development through the following ways (including but not limited to): Accountability Calls Career Development Workshops Speaking Engagements Magazine Features Contributing Author in Books and Magazines

"Power is the influence to change the trajectory of people's thoughts towards what is the ideal state of the world with ideal core values." Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I started a media content company at 24, designed to create content with meaning. We focus on creating content to motivate self-identified #gogetters to go get their goals. There is a struggle with identifying the proper actions to take, which we are specifically overcoming by providing gogetters actionable strategies to go get their goals. Our first proprietary product is our proprietary digital media platform, which we are in the midst of building now. It will house all the digital and social content necessary to help a go-getter go get their goals in life. As an Industrial Engineer who graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering in 2014 at age 22, I had a competitive background in public speaking. I completed 2 short stints in technology consulting at Deloitte and in digital technology marketing in corporate America. I was discovered in 2015 on Twitter after a social media strategist saw my tweets to motivate people to become go-getters and she recommended that I sign with a television publicist. That jump-started my media career by serendipity. I started my media company as an engineer and immigrant woman of color at 24. Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: 1. Leverage social media to build your digital and social audience to funnel into potential buyers for your products 2. Focus on generating scaled revenue, and analyzing costs for products to achieve profitability as soon as possible What is next for you and your brand? Next is scaling up my personal #GoGetter social media audience across all of my social media platforms and directing them to my soon to be built proprietary media platform which will house #GoGetter themed digital content designed to motivate go-getters to go get their goals with actionable strategies to be implemented in 2020. Of course, we are also focusing on reaching more self-identified go-getters with the story of how becoming a go-getter changed my life, (1) "Unapologetically, Shinjini," a memoir at 26, (2) 1-Hour GoGetter Consultations with me to help gogetters with actionable strategies to go get their 1-goal, (3) GoGetter Content Brand Partnerships, (4) GoGetter Event Brand Partnerships, and (5) GoGetter Merchandise to be launched soon.

All of what was considered my PAIN really became PURPOSE as it created 'The Inspirational Guru' (ME)...!! Therefore it's time I serve you and show you how to 'OVERCOME, TRANSFORM and walk in your true KING/QUEENDOM too'! What does “Power” mean to you? Power to me has various meanings. I personally don't believe it can have just one meaning and in addition to that, it can be used as both a positive and negative term, as it can be applied both ways.Therefore, my definition of POWER is to have the 'authority' to do many things such as to impact and influence others and to have confidence and a strong belief/faith in yourself and others as belief triggers the power to do. You have the natural power of dominion (Genesis 1:26) to create the lifestyle you desire through your thoughts (Proverbs 23:7) and through the words that you speak into the atmosphere (Proverbs 18:21). The power we have within can influence a generation to think a certain way and move a certain way and we all carry that within through the gifts that God planted within us. It's up to us on whether to water it and allow it to flourish. Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I'm a global Speaker and Transformation coach. I'm on a MISSION to teach entrepreneurs how to TRANSFORM their life and their business through showing you how to turn your visions into reality and how to 'OVERCOME' your PAIN or PAST and turn it into PURPOSE while building the life of your dreams..!! Why? Because I know that many of you are trapped in the box of SHAME, FEAR & LIMITING SELF BELIEFS which is in reality, blocking you from your true gifts and purpose. I've been in that place, I overcame it, transformed and am still overcoming and transforming! I went from being an ex-urban glamour naked model, breaking the law and hurting people trying to make quick dirty money, being in a jail cell twice, failing my 1st year in university college 3-times, failing constantly for 7-years straight (2006-2013), having 3pending charges/convictions on me but GOD saw differently and reversed all of that. From 2013 when God gave me a second chance and gave me a clean slate to start again, I went back to university college, also started my 1st business in the Hair extension industry (Concrete Versatilia Rosa) and have been building my journey as an entrepreneur ever since. I graduated with my 1st degree in Law, went on to do my postgraduate and am now a Barrister Lawyer and entrepreneur combined ready to build winners like YOU!
Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: The first and most important advice for emerging entrepreneurs is to start your business with PURPOSE. The biggest mistake that a lot of entrepreneurs starting out make (including me when I started), is to start a business with the sole purpose of making money. Money is the result of the purpose you serve and the value you provide. Yes we gotta make money and we are building towards freedom, but starting a business only for the money is like building a house on a quicksand foundation.The purpose is important as it involves service; Your business is serving your clients' needs and fulfilling a desire. Your business is solving a problem and is supposed to provide a solution. Your business is meant to impact or even transform the life of your customer through the value you provide. Entrepreneurship is not just about you, it's about service and impact. Focus on the purpose of your business and the problem you solve, not just the product or service you provide. Once you do that, trust me the money will come flowing to you naturally and effortlessly. The second advice is that MINDSET IS EVERYTHING. It is an imperative foundation that you must have. You gotta renew your mind daily because if your mind ain't right then your business won't be right. Your mind is like the fuel that controls the vehicle (your goals and business). The proverb "As a man thinketh in his heart so he becomes" - is not just a statement, it is real. Thoughts truly become things. The greatest computer given to us in the world is our minds and the greater news is we have control over it, but if you are not careful, the world or others can control your hard drive. Get your mind right if you expect to be successful in your business. Anything is possible and you can have anything you desire. You are God's highest form of creation because you are God manifested in human form! What is next for your business in 2020? Impacting 1-Million lives by 2022 by traveling, collaborations and expanding my business globally. I am a strong believer in 'Iron Sharpeneth Iron'. I am grateful for adding the multi-level/network marketing industry to one of my 7building streams of income because it taught me the power of being a servant leader and the power of teamwork.Teamwork really does make the dream work. I've never been a believer of staying in a shell or in one place to achieve my dreams. The spirit of God within me is too big to limit myself or to allow my surroundings to keep me in one place. I really look forward to helping people transform themselves and their businesses while building the lifestyle of their dreams and I'm even more excited to help people overcome their struggles and become who God has called them to be! It's time to get unstuck and move during this next decade. The cemetery can no longer be the richest place with dead dreams and gifts that never manifested. How can readers connect with you online?

"To me power means a tangible demonstration of self-control and integrity. It means using your influence for the good of others and it also means pulling from your inner strength during times of adversity, not allowing adverse circumstances to reduce you to a level that you've already grew from."

Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact. I have a business and I have a ministry so I will touch on both. My ministry was designed to help others develop spiritually and personally so that they are living a purpose driven life. The positive impact is to help others develop a strategic prayer life so that they are equipped and empowered to face each day with grace. My business is evolving but currently it's a self publishing company where we make a positive impact by helping others publish their Christian or inspirational stories so that their books are a motivation to others. Share two pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: Make sure you research, look for and expect to be shown past results. Pretty graphics and captions can lure you in but take the time to research the person you are wanting to do business with and ask them to show you results or case studies of past clients. You will save time and money. I've paid money to people who have yet to deliver what I paid for. I've moved on and considered it as a seed sown into them and a lesson for me because I didn't ask for the proof, I was lured by a post. Action will produce results. Not affirmations. Not making a list of goals. Action. When you get good information, do something with it. What is next for your business in 2020? Going back to the basics, getting back to the root of my purpose which is ministry, and helping others develop spiritually. How can readers connect with you online?

"Power to me means having the ability to do any and all things through the strength of Jesus Christ, no matter how hard the overall process may be" Tell is about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: LaShay’s DESIGNS® is an online retail company that was established in 2009. The mission of the company is to provide customers with highquality retail merchandise and services at reasonable prices. The swan with the logo represents elegance and grace, which are characteristics every female should portray. LaShay's Designs was designed to make an positive impact on women through its products and services. For instance, the first product is my It’s No-Lye Naturalista T-Shirt, which is an affordable women’s t-shirt to represent black women with our natural hair. The second product is my book, Mommy’s Goals vs. Reality: Managing School, Work, and Family. This is a must-read, self-help book in which women are provided with successful strategies to manage their school, work, and family obligations as they aim to reach their goals. I describe the lessons learned from my doctoral journey, provide motivation and encouragement, and analyze strategies working, student mothers used during their academics, professional careers, and family lifestyles. I wrote this book to encourage other women not to give up on their educational or professional goals just because they are a mother or a wife. All mothers and wives can pursue any goal they aim to achieve if they are willing to work hard to succeed despite their family obligations. The third product, which is a new product I just launched, is my #Career Goals T-Shirt. This t-shirt was designed for moms who not only work hard for their children but work with their career goals in mind. Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: As quoted within my book, Mommy’s Goals vs. Reality: Managing School, Work, and Family, “Whatever avenue you choose to become successful in, you will be the only determining factor whether you succeed or fail. You must determine the overall outcome you want for your life. We are constantly watching other people around us achieve success, and we too want success for ourselves. We may envy successful people or yearn to know how we can get to where they are. However, little do some people know, we all have failed at one time or another in the pursuit of our goals."

What does "Power" mean to you? I'm sure power means all types of things to others, but to me, its a gift. God gave us power! And our power is in the tongue. We are so blessed to have power over the things we want, from just speaking it! I mean, just think about that, God said, you can speak blessings over yourself, so with my power, I choose to speak life, prosperity, love! I choose to lift others up, that don't understand that they too have been blessed to use it. Many things have come to past for me, because of my power, so power to me is just that! Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: My business is designed to help all walks of life, that have been told "No" & "You're not good enough" see, everything I create can be done online from a phone! I have been blessed to impact many households in a positive way, by helping them gain income online, so many testimonials I receive, from others, that have been able to take their kids to Disney World, buy new cars, pay off depth, and even buy homes cash. I grew up without, so it's a blessing to see the positive change it has made in a lot of lives.

Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: Get moving, don't wait for things to be perfect, to start your business because anything that's perfect will self destruct. Be bold, courageous, fearless and consistent. Know that God created you to be great & He did not give your those thoughts of starting your own business to leave you! Sow your seeds and you will reap the harvest. What is next for you and your brand? I have a lot of things going on for me & you just never know with God! I stop trying to be too focused and headstrong about my direction because every time I do, God has something better, so I just move where God tells me too. But I can tell you, ears have not heard, and eyes have not seen the type of blessing, that God has for me, I'm excited!

SHARVETTE MITCHELL "Power means influence and freedom."
Tell is about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I offer web design services, personal brand consulting and host a podcast. My business is all about elevating the visibility of my clients who have big missions or impactful services. When they are able to rise above the noise and reach their customers, the impact is amazing! Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: 1) Find the simplest way to do whatever it is and jump in. When you create complexity it will deter you from being consistent. Your consistency will get you further than anything else. 2) FOCUS - put all of your energy on one thing and work that until the wheels fall off.

www.Power20Mag.com Tiffany Carter takes the mystery out of making BIG money while doing something you love. She uses a magnetic combination of her clear-cut communication style that she developed as a TV news broadcaster for NBC and CBS, her business savvy and proven strategies as a multi-millionaire entrepreneur, and her intuitive ability to connect with women on a deeper level, to uncover what’s blocking you from achieving your dream life. She’s a passionate female empowerment speaker and marketing sales specialist, responsible for more than a hundred million dollars in sales transactions. Tiffany's zones of genius are helping women become financially free, through education, empowerment, and proven straightforward business strategies. This multi-millionaire entrepreneur went from a life of self-destruction to success, from abuse to abundance, despite the odds being entirely against her. Tiffany’s mission runs deeper than helping women create wealth; her bigger purpose is to help women find their worth. Low self-worth = Low net-worth High self-worth = High net-worth The name ProjectME came to Tiffany while recovering from spine surgery ten years ago (first time she took time for herself!). Tiffany spent years masking deeply buried pain by compulsively exercising (hence the spine surgery), and working to the point of emotional, spiritual, and physical bankruptcy. Four years ago, a broken Tiffany, finally surrendered to the God of her understanding, and begged the Universe for help. She was finally ready to face the buried demons of her past. For the first time, she felt light, free, with a renewed sense of purpose. She knew ProjectME was the perfect platform to serve and support women in business. By taking her extensive experience as an entrepreneur and sales expert and packaging these lessons and methods to pay it forward, showing other women how to create their own great wealth, health, and worth.

What does "Power" mean to you? For me the word POWER is one not to be used lightly. When an individual has the ability to influence others — that’s power. The person who has the capability to direct the course of events - that’s power. There are truly so many ways a person can exhibit power. An individual can be powerful in their speech or in their ability to write or overcome adversity. My desire is that whatever sphere of influence or power that I’m blessed to possess that it’s used wisely. Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I went into business to impact people and encourage them to live out the greatness that’s within them. I started Gospel Access (a media outlet that collects the testimonies of today’s ultra successful individuals via interviews) with this purpose in mind. We have wide ranging, genuine and authentic conversations with some of the best and brightest in the world from all walks of life. Academy Award nominees, Grammy Award winners, successful pastors, business owners and today’s influencers & news makers all share inspiring insights as well as give empowering advice to encourage others to go after what God has put in their heart to do. Share 2 pieces of business advice for emerging entrepreneurs: One piece of advice is to surround yourself with top notch individuals who know what they’re doing. There’s so many people who talk a good game but when you roll up your sleeves and take a closer look - they really don’t have the skill set that they speak about. Another piece of advice for emerging entrepreneurs is this — believe in yourself, believe that you’ve got the skills to pay the bills, believe in you and the business that you are embarking on. I believe this is paramount because so many people let fear, doubt and their own insecurities get in the way, causing their business to be doomed before it can even begin. What is next for you and your brand? What’s next for me is I am working on a book project that I’m really excited about because it’s going to help people access their own personal greatness. For the Gospel Access brand you can expect more celebrity interviews that will be chock-full of wisdom nuggets from some of your favorite actors, actresses, singers and personalities. . How can readers support your business + connect with you online? I thoroughly enjoy connecting via social media! www.GospelAccess.org Instagram: @gospelaccesstv Instagram: @MinisterTraycee Facebook: Gospel Access

DEPRIEST Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: 1) If you love what you do, your commitment will carry you over the long haul. According to researchers, most businesses fail before reaching the five-year mark. There will definitely be highs and lows -- times of triumph and times of trouble. Build a relationship with a more seasoned entrepreneur in the same or a similar industry for mentoring.
What does “Power” mean to you? For me, power means the ability to influence others to make an action, take a stand on an issue or promote you and/or your business. That's what I love about the field of marketing and communications -- then public relations brings the personal connection component. That's at the heart of the work in these areas, leveraging high creativity and one's sphere of influence --power-- to sell products and services, raise one's media profile or generate a political movement. #blacklivesmatter is a great example. Tell is about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: The BrandMaiden is really a new expression for the image and public relations services I provide clients in film and entertainment, education and the small business sectors. While one area of expertise is definitely helping to establish your personal brand and raise visibility of your service, organization or product line, my other specialization is helping individuals or businesses recover from mistakes that have caused them to lose customers, investors and public trust. My services are designed to help you put your best face forward -literally and figuratively as it relates to your personal brand and/or business. The BrandMaiden helps clients inform, educate and inspire their target audiences in a way that fosters positive experiences in their customers lives.

2) If you're preparing to launch a business and are employed full time, consider keeping your full-time job for a couple of years while you cultivate and grow the business. This will go along way in reducing stress due to financial strain when you hit a low profit season. What is next for your business in 2020? I am just in the early phases of launching the BrandMaiden, building its new website and the overall communications and marketing plan, which includes social media platforms, Instagram and Twitter. I am evolving from simply providing services to developing products that my clients can integrate into their daily marketing and communications operations. For example, I just released my first e-book with Glambitious, "What To Do When the SH_T Hits the Fan?" which will be available at thebrandmaiden.com or @TheBrandMaiden. I also am developing an app to provide individuals and small businesses with real-time PR and marketing resources when the sh_t hits the fan. How can readers connect with you online?

What does “Power” mean to you? POWER is having the mindset to know that anything you can dream, you can achieve! There are too many women that are just existing, believing whatever society pours into them and not realizing that everything they need to lead a successful and happy life already exists within them. It's time to do a mindset checkup and check-in to what can really happen when you wake up and start walking in your purpose.
Tell us about your business and how it was designed to make a positive impact: I am the CEO/Founder of Women Persevering for Greatness, Inc., a women's empowerment platform that serves to help women reveal + release the fears, doubts and self-limiting beliefs that keep them stuck and stagnate. Our brand, Woman On The Verge, consists of a podcast, radio talk show, digital magazine, online masterclasses/seminars, monthly online networking events and live conferences created to help women evolve from being a woman on the verge to being a woman on fire living in her purpose, on purpose. Share 2 pieces of advice for emerging entrepreneurs: 1. As a new/emerging entrepreneur, first, you must believe in yourself! To do this, most times, you will need to create space between you and others who don't believe in you, your passion nor your vision. Those outside influences will only continue to fuel doubt and fear into you because they haven't tapped into how to dream a bigger dream for their own lives. 2. Once you believe that you can achieve your goals and have eliminated the negative influences and people who do not wish you success, it's time to strategically place yourself in circles with others who are either doing what you want to be doing or they aspire you to forward movement because of how they handle their business! BONUS: Hire a business coach. What is next for your business in 2020? We have a goal to connect with 1000 women in 2020! We will continue being the gateway to mentality freedom for women on the verge by providing continuous opportunities for women to have the mindset shift needed to start living and breathing in their purpose. This year, we will host our first multi-day women's retreat so that women can experience the mindset reset she needs to completely flourish as she evolves to being a woman on fire!
