COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
​
​"Leave Your Mark", Blue Jean Luncheon, Lambda Pi Eta
Everyone has an inherent uniqueness that someone else needs. Be comfortable with who you are and use your gifts, talents, and personhood to serve. When we know who we are, we have some sense of where we are going. When we know where we are going, we can plan and prepare. When we plan and preapre we make an impact just being who we are, and where we are.

"Search for Significance", Elementay/Middle School Poetry Workshop
This spoken word performance captures the conflict some women experience as they grapple with their worth. Our sense of worth can be defined by bad relationships or media portrayals, but our true worth is defined by our Creator and a personal choice to accept the wealth of our worth.
