I AM Woman Tawana Trammell
Intelligent, Brave, Beautiful, Bold, Spiritual, and Nurturing are just a few of our God given characteristics. Our intelligence enlightens, bravery frees, beauty memorizes, boldness challenges, spirit calms, and nurturing embraces. We have a way of turning a negative situation into a positive outcome. How do we do it you ask? We were born for this! Womanhood doesn’t come with a playbook. There are no instructions or specialty courses. Most times it’s on the job training. Life trains us in the courses of marriage, motherhood, employees, community volunteers, spiritual leaders, and game changers. Within each of these roles are many additional roles and responsibilities that accompany them. For example is you are a mother, you are also the housekeeper, chef, chauffeur, teacher, personal shopper, wardrobe designer, advocate etc. This one role has full time responsibilities yet we manage to carry out these tasks and those associated with our additional roles.
We are capable of being submissive and influential, a help meet and entrepreneur, dreamer and creator, a protector and protestor, and the list goes on. Everyday we are faced with determining which roles me must play to carry out the task before us. Sometimes it’s challenging, but we manage to get through it. Women have a way of bringing families and communities together through love, support, and resources. History has shown us that it only takes one woman to bring change to the world. We not only have visions but plans to make them a reality. Women will collaborate, barter, and sacrifice to fulfill their purpose. Some people view us as aggressive but what the world really sees is passion. We are passionate about what we believe. Women live by internal convictions that causes us to use our voices to speak for those who have been silenced. We pursue excellence in everything our hands touch. We don’t look for personal recognition, we just want the world to be a better place for our children.
