We Help Each Other…

Soror Danielle L. Bridgeforth

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone —especially to those in the family of faith. Galatians 6:10 (NLT)

Sorors, I want to say something…I see you! I adore you and the ways that you move in the world. You are out here doing BIG things with love, compassion, intelligence, and grace. You are leading in every industry, taking care of your homes, active in our community, and living out your faith each day. Thank you!

You need to hear that you are valued and appreciated. So, let me speak on behalf of those who may not always pause to say it, but nevertheless the sentiments are there. The contributions that you make each day are necessary and impactful. We do not have to search hard to see the many ways that those around us are hurting and struggling. There are serious financial, social, political, and, of course, health crises afoot. Nevertheless, we are making a difference simply by living our ideals and refusing to run from these serious challenges.

This month, I encourage you to spread the message of love. As you know, one of the initiatives of the current International Program is to Strengthen Our Sisterhood. We are being urged to “intentionally take time to fellowship and form lifelong relationships based on affinity, love, trust, respect, and shared goals and interests, while concurrently building on our foundation to serve others.” Sorors, this is us! We are the epitome of sisterhood, scholarship, and service to all mankind. Keep soaring! Keep loving. Keep leading. Keep doing good and being good in the world. For the light you share not only reflects the goodness of Alpha Kappa Alpha, but also, it reflects the Light and the truth of God.
