Dear mama, YOU ARE A LEADER. You may not have recognised that yet. Leadership is a misused term nowadays - it’s applied to the people in charge, bosses, politicians etc, but few of these people are actually leaders.
Leadership refers to those who take a stand for what’s right, who speak up when no one else will, who consider the whole.
Mothers are leaders. I’ve never met a mother who does not want better for her children than she does herself, who isn’t willing to put herself on the line, who isn’t directing her efforts towards creating a better world - and a better her / for her children.
This is the true meaning of leadership.
You are a leader. I acknowledge and honour you for the work you’ve done as a mother and the work you will do.
