When A Woman Stands Up For Herself

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.” –Maya Angelou

I don’t think women should be pressured to stand up, but I do think that the women who do choose to stand up should recognize the liberation of their choice, no matter how big or small. I like to think that my choice will positively impact women of the future. I want them to have a world where they are supported and permitted to be exactly the women they were born to be. Not limited by job growth, not feeling unsafe in dark parking lots, not having to debate whether she should leave a job because her boss makes her uncomfortable; she can wear a dress, wear her natural hair, wear makeup, and whatever else makes her feel more confident and at home in herself.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
