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.
