Have women that inspire you?💜
Come to our artist’s reception for the Self Actualized Woman illustration contest March 4th, 2026 (3-5p.m.) in the Madelon Powers mezzanine. Here are author, Dr. D’s inspirations:
“My mother taught me that I could achieve any dream through tenacity, discipline, will, and compassion. She instilled in me a belief in the beauty of the world and all beings, even when life becomes harsh and unforgiving. She taught me to examine problems in order to find solutions for the benefit of self and others; to have hope and share that light to inspire; to listen with intention and provide space for all.
I am inspired every day by women of all ages—my daughters, students, colleagues, and women around the world—who show up, push forward, and never give up. Women who believe they can create the best version of themselves, no matter how long or difficult the journey may be. Who fall, but never break. Who do not succumb to the poisons of hate, jealousy, greed, or malice. Who understand that the responsibility of womanhood is to see ourselves with brutal honesty and to nurture the seed of love and understanding for self and others. To never settle, and to build a life in which each woman can find her own truth.
Keep going. You are going to change the world.”
