Strong and Beautiful - Karen Davis Pritchett

We are Strong and Beautiful

Strong and Beautiful is an intentional focus to encourage, educate and empower women to walk in their purpose. It is not about our physical strength or our external beauty.

Yes, those things are important, but the lens of strength is bigger and more in-depth than any one of us can imagine.

It is the power to embrace our individuality in the midst of pressures to just fit the mold, whatever that is. It is the beauty of our physical and emotional scars that are unique and identifiable as the fingerprint on each finger.

Our strength is being able to move about in the space of life and ask for what we need and want.

Each one of us is fearfully and wonderfully made by our awesome Creator. God created only one of you. For that simple fact, you are beautiful.

Our beauty is multidimensional and prismatic.

You have great potential and purpose. We need your gifts and talents to make our world complete and for your communities to be complete. I hope that you take the time to acknowledge your strength and beauty, because I honor and recognize that you are, we are…Strong and Beautiful and move about in the freedom of being Unbothered.

Still Kind

Still Kind Recently, I have been reminded of my responsibility to be kind even though______,(you fill in the blank). During our journey we will be confronted with many revelations and truths, some of them will snatch us off our feet, because they are unbelievable. Over the past months, I have seen and interacted with people […]

Active Patience

I was reading an ad the other day and the tag line was Active Patience. Once I read those reads, I stopped. I was in AWE mode. I literally sat there and said those words, over and over. Active patience, active patience, active patience. It was very striking to me. Normally, when we think of […]

Strong Enough To Destroy the Stereotype… Whew Angry Black Woman!

Strong Enough to Destroy the Stereotype…Whew Angry Black Woman! There are many dimensions to our strength. We are strong when we set boundaries. We are strong when we say no and stand on it. We are strong when we cry and question. This time we need to be strong enough to use our strength […]

Happy Women’s History Month!

I can’t believe we are about to stroll into March! This year is up and running. This is Women’s History Month! A time when we intentionally acknowledge the influence of women. Women are incredible! Our intelligence, boldness, creativity, body, and persistence. This world isn’t always kind to us and there are unique barriers that have […]
