Face | Emerge
Genetically, women were created to be superb multi-taskers, problem solvers, and organizers. We were created to think with both intelligence and emotions, and we have the exceptional ability to nurture start up projects and impart with patience over a span of decades the tools necessary for those projects to finally stand on their own. We can be fierce when we need to be and compassionate when it’s called for, and most know how to live in a balance of the two extremes. And we’ve been given an attractive exterior to this package that, when used correctly, demands both attention and respect. [F:] How would you characterize an emerging woman? [RS:]To me, an emerging woman is someone in the midst of the process of life. She’s recognized her dreams, acknowledged her weaknesses and is building on her strengths. She may not have arrived at her destination just yet, but is well on her way. She’s breaking through societal walls, dismantling the barriers of her life and changing the world around her for the better in some way. She’s inspiring greatness in others simply by aspiring to greatness in herself. [F:] If you could offer advice to our readers what would it be? [RS:] Stay strong. Don’t believe anyone who tells you it can’t be done. There will be a thousand people who will tell you “no”, but all you need is that one person who says “yes”. Know who you are and stay true to yourself. And ultimately, don’t ever, EVER g ive up on yourself or your dreams. It will be worth it in the end. Renee resides in Naples, Fl.
