As we reflect on the collective power of women advocating for a better tomorrow, I invite you to join us in this vital conversation. Let us uplift one another and harness our voices to drive progress. Together, we can pave the way for future generations.

COVER STORY
BEYOND BEAUTY Sheryl Adkins-Green on Leadership, Legacy, and Lasting Impact by Kimberly Sweet
N
ever one to focus on fitting in, Sheryl Adkins-Green has built a life and a career that truly stands out.
From her early interest in fashion design to her role as beauty brand Mary Kay’s Chief Experience Officer, where she supported the company’s independent beauty consultants in thirty-five countries, AdkinsGreen knows how to make an impact. Growing up in the Washington, DC area, she and a younger brother were raised by a father who was a scientist and mother who worked in education administration. Her family’s values stressed doing your best, treating others the way you wanted to be treated, and “respecting and valuing everybody, no matter their background, and just believing that everyone is important.” Adkins-Green was shaped by a diverse community and broad circle of friends. Her interests as a young girl would set her life’s path.
P.P.8 8Cheryl CherylMAGAZINE MAGAZINE
“When I had to have my first Barbie, that was the clue that I loved fashion and beauty, but also being the Girl Scout who sold the most cookies was the indication that I had business interests,” she says. Adkins-Green eventually found that there was something even deeper capturing her attention—a desire to help others. “That became a bit of a theme, so to speak, getting to know people quickly, making a connection, and then discovering how I could add value, how I could understand their needs or aspirations, and then match that with what I was tasked to deliver.” Ambitious and hard-working from the outset, Adkins-Green maximized every opportunity. Her first job was at a boutique, which not only paid for her fashions, but it allowed her to learn about store operations and also created an opportunity for her to help others look their best. When she took a position with Sears department store, she worked the cash register, wrapped gifts at Christmas, and modeled on Saturday mornings.
Armed with degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Harvard Business School, Adkins-Green put her skills, interests, and education to work in major corporations. At General Foods (later Kraft), she decided she wanted to run a division, or indeed, a company. Rather than waiting for an opening, she worked strategically to prepare herself to ascend. Choosing positions and assignments that would add to her sales and marketing experience made her an asset across the company and helped her to better understand how all the elements of the business work together. Success at Kraft Foods led to a position at Citibank. “It was that next-level opportunity to learn more about the financial aspects of business lending, risk management, and balance sheet management—some things I wasn’t so involved with at Kraft.” At Citibank, Adkins-Green brought some of her retail skills to the position, specifically how branches developed relationships and rapport with clients.
“Throughout all those experiences, I was always getting to know people, whether it was by observation or by direct interaction,” she says. “I always enjoyed being able to help others through my work.”
I do see myself as a connector, and I see the value I create in identifying those connections that are going to be mutually beneficial. P. 9 Cheryl MAGAZINE
CONTENDING FOR WISDOM by Charmaine Roots Castillo
P. 1 6 Cheryl MAGAZINE
LIFT ONE VOICEYOURS! During a meeting, a group of women (which included me) shared our thoughts on an issue that came up for discussion. After a robust conversation on the subject matter, we were prepared to put it to a vote. One of the ladies, due to a lack of alignment between her expressed thoughts and opinions and everyone else’s, concluded that the majority would rule, so her vote wouldn't make a difference. After several attempts to convince her that her voice had value, she still refused to cast her vote. Well, guess what? After the secret vote, there was a tie. The person who possessed the power to cast the decisive vote had already left the meeting (all up in her feelings). She surrendered her voice to the mercy of those who chose to participate in the process and see it through to the end. Sis, all voices matter. Have you heard the expression "a closed mouth don't get fed?" In today's society, we have acquired an appetite for change, and change is in the air. Can you feel it? Here is a news flash— we can't be the change we want to see if we don't speak up. As we decide to lift every voice (which includes YOUR voice), the vibration of that collective sound will cause long-standing foundations to shake and quake, revealing deep cracks that threaten the integrity of that foundation. Who has heard a thing or two about the walls of Jericho?
Here's the bottom line: Use YOUR voice. If you want to advocate for a better tomorrow, use YOUR voice today. What changes are you hungry for? There is no need to force others to eat from your plate, but rather, encourage them to bring what they desire to the table. When we each bring our unique flavor, our own custom blend to the table, what a glorious feast there will be! Here's the thing—we each have a voice and a choice in how we use it. We can use it to tear down or build up. We can speak life or death. We can use our voice selfishly or to advocate for those whose voice is less vibrant but equally important. What's your flavor? The dishes on a smorgasbord, in their wide array, have more in common than not. When the positive cheers drown out the negative whispers, the energy in the room is conducive to a thriving sense of sisterhood. Our voices, in any decision-making arena, affect each of us personally, but are you willing to allow others to decide what is best for you? Use your voice to advocate for what you believe, even when it does not align with the status quo. Use your authentic voice to unapologetically say what you mean and mean what you say. Bring it into the room and lay it out on the table. The casual observer could be influenced, inspired, or receive courage from hearing your different perspective. Every voice matters, so lift up your voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring. Charmaine Roots Castillo is a creative writer who loves to promote hope, encouragement, and brighter perspectives.

in silence, there are available professionals who are ready, willing and able to assist you right now. A single mother for seven years before she met her current husband of 28 years, Ken, a successful entrepreneur and real estate developer, Gloria says the thought of her young daughter experiencing the same trauma in relationships gave her the strength and courage she needed to leave. She had no idea that making the choice to leave would catapult her into the stratosphere of success where she is currently thriving! She uses her story and her voice to be a beacon of hope for other women who are suffering domestic violence and unsure of how to move forward. “The biggest [and most common] issue with domestic violence is silence. There is this secretive nature around domestic violence and that secret is a very heavy one to carry. There is no advantage that comes from not speaking up about it,” Gloria shared. Banks also shared the intentionality with which she conducts her life, including the conversations she has with people every single day. “I know that it is important to use the gift of inspiration. I do not just consider that when I am speaking to a large audience. [I consider it] when I am speaking to two or three people or even when I get off the phone with someone,” Gloria explained. Holding this level of intention when speaking with people has been one of the
hallmarks of Gloria’s career success as she adamantly shares the importance and value of connection and cultivating relationships. It is this longstanding belief and practice that has allowed Gloria’s staying power in sales and business. Another issue that Gloria is very enthusiastic and intentional about is bringing more attention to the conversation of women and money. We have seen and heard in detail, discussions surrounding the topic of the pay equity gap between men and women. Are we diving deep enough into this issue to impact change? How can we do so? Gloria Banks has the answer. “I am here to take women from ordinary to extraordinary. I am here to help women become stronger leaders,” Gloria added. “Women want to have more. More impact, more influence and more income. When a woman has more, she can give more. And it is not about the material things, it is [about her ability to] contribute more, serve more, and impact her community more,” Gloria added. As we continued this discussion, Gloria shared a jaw-dropping statistic that she credits with keeping her motivated to have conversations like this and to encourage more women to do the same. “One thing that really got me fired up was when I learned that 92% of women [who are currently in the workforce] make less than $100,000 per year. We are the most
educated, we are the hardest working…and yet, we are led to believe that $40,000-70,000 [for an annual salary] is enough, but it is not,” Gloria shared. As we discussed this, Gloria highlighted the importance of moving the needle by getting more women comfortable having conversations about money. She also talked about the freedom, access, and choices that become available when women command more. “When you increase your income, it gives you so many choices that you are currently unaware of. It determines the security that you live in, it determines the type and quality of medical choices you have access to, [and so much more]. People often make the mistake of thinking that more money is about material things, but it is not. It is about the security and the types of choices that you can make,” Gloria shared. She went on to share some actions that we can take to advocate for ourselves so that we can command more. “[Women,] you can make yourself indispensable and they [your job] will ask to give you more. Make yourself dominant and irresistible in your skillset, it gives you the confidence to demand more,” she continued. As we continued our conversation, Banks shared another common misstep that she sees highly capable women struggle with. “I talk to so many women who do not know how to pick the right next goal. They are so focused and so heavily fixated on the big picture, that they

The Power of Becoming the Purpose-Driven Woman

ince the beginning of time women have always played a significant role in society and have led the way for others to follow. The power that women possess dates to biblical times. One of the most significant women in the Bible was Mary. The woman who gave birth to a baby boy named Emmanuel (Jesus), who would later save the world. This is a prime example that we were created to be impregnated with purpose, birth, and deliver to the world the gifts that God has given us. We were created in his image, and everything he created has a purpose. Throughout the Bible, you can find women who were servant leaders who contributed to the building of other women and their communities. The story of Ruth and Naomi symbolizes loyalty, devotion, dedication, and sisterhood. The Bible also has given us the blueprint of the successful woman as it describes the P31 Woman, aka, “The Virtuous Wife.” She is a woman of courage and great strength. She’s described as a businesswoman, a wife, a philanthropist, a well-dressed woman, a homemaker, a giver, and a woman of wisdom who always speaks and exhibits kindness. These same qualities have laid the foundation and roadmap for today’s successful women.
countless young women to dream big. In 2024, she secured the Democratic nomination for President, demonstrating resilience, ambition, and the power of purpose. Although she did not win the presidency, her journey reminds us that with the right mindset, we can reach for any goal, no matter how high.
Women have carried the weight of the world for centuries. We are the people’s choice! Our footprints can be seen from the church house to the White House and many corporations in between. Women like Madam CJ Walker, Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, Ella Baker, Shirley Chisholm, Maya Angelou, Angela Davis, Mae Jamison, and many others broke barriers and opened doors when racial discrimination was at an all-time high. In the words of our dear sister Maya Angelou, “And Still I Rise”!
4. Invest in yourself! Personal development is the key to growth. Educating yourself in your area of choice. Take the course. Get the degree. Find a successful mentor.
In every facet of life, you can see the imprint that women have made. Most notable of our time is Oprah Winfrey. She is the first African American woman to become a self-made billionaire. Oprah also became the first woman to own and produce a television talk show. Vice President Kamala Harris made history as the first Black woman to hold the office, breaking barriers and inspiring
7. Be persistent, consistent, and persevere! Don’t Quit! Do it Afraid!
Sister, YOU are the “People’s Choice” and a beacon of hope for the next generation of women leaders! It’s your time to embody “The Purpose Driven Woman.” Here are some powerful tips to help you on your journey of “Becoming”—no matter where you are today.
7 Tips to Becoming the Purpose-Driven Woman 1. Believe that you were created for a purpose! We all have something of value that someone else needs. 2. Pray and ask God to show you the vision he has for your life! Write it down! Take action! 3. Be confident! You have greatness on the inside of you! Tap into it!
5. Have faith that you are enough and know you have something significant that someone else needs! 6. Stay focused on the assignment! Remove any roadblocks, negative thoughts, and distractions!
You already have everything you need to become who you were born to be! God sees you! I believe in you! You got this, Sis! Start thanking God in advance for the WIN! I can’t wait to see “The Purpose Driven Woman” you are BECOMING! P. 7 1 Cheryl MAGAZINE
