World Class Beauty Queens: What does women Empowerment means to you?
Women empowerment to me means that every woman has the capability to do whatever they set their minds to. Through my platform Be Boldly and Unapologetically you, I encourage women to be themselves and not minimize their sparkle to make someone else happy but to focus on themselves. Women are shouldn’t be stereotyped or judged for what they do for work or in their person time but judged on the quality of their work and seen as equals. Women are the forefront of our future and women are achieving and paving way for generations to come of empowered women.
