If you follow me on Snapchat, you may have seen that I went to Women's Empowerment in Raleigh on Saturday. The moment I saw that Viola Davis would be the keynote speaker at this year's event, I knew I wanted to be there. Viola Davis is such an inspiration to all women, especially women of color. I appreciate her talent, honesty and being true to herself. She has a presence that commands attention and I was honored that I got to see that in person.
The highlight of Women's Empowerment for me was hearing Viola Davis' keynote speech. As she came on stage, I was in awe. Surprisingly, I even became a bit emotional. She was beautiful! She had on a gorgeous red orange dress and her voice immediately commanded the attention of attendees. Her keynote speech was powerful because she kept it absolutely real. I felt like I learned a lot about her life and even felt encouraged from her words. I took notes during her speech and seven quotes stood out to me that I felt were important for me to share with you.
