::5 Ways to Help Empower Women::

Empowerment has nothing to do with jealously or competition and everything to do with genuine support and encouragement. 

It's what I was left with after an amazing event Wednesday morning. Yes. It's been months since I post on this blog, you can find me regularly on Momma of Dos. And, coincidentally enough the last post on this blog was a guest blogger by the name of Angelica Gonzalez of Latina Entrepreneur Empowerment Circle or LEEC. Today's post is about Angelica's group and the great community she is building. 

The group that morning was a small intimate size but the power and empowerment was far too big for the room we were in! Imagine Communication Coaches, Authors, Leaders, Innovators, Creators, and Women who are taking charge of their lives and redefining not only who they are but their direction. 

Women who don't take NO for an answer. Women who are waking up everyday and literally punching fear in the throat. Women who have decided that enough is enough, or that TODAY is the day. Women who may feel doubt but proceed none-the-less. 

Do you feel a tingle in your soul and a tug in your gut? 

Are you curious to know more about this group of women and how you can join them? 

Well you should! 

The ladies attending the LEEC empowerment and networking sessions are real women, Latinas and non-Latinas alike, from our community. We all live here in Houston and we want to create not only a sense of empowerment for the women we meet but a place of growth for all women in our community! 

I believe that Angelica the creator and Mastermind behind LEEC is doing just that, one session at a time, one Latina Entrepreneur at each session! 

Now 5 Ways that I feel we help Empower other Women in our community:

1. Encourage- Provide words of encouragement to those women around you and in your community. Words are so important and can mean so much. Something as simple as "You can do this!" May go a long way.... 

2. Support- As a Blogger the best support you can give me is by sharing my posts on your social media channels- sharing is caring. In the same way find out what the women around you need and support them in any way possible. 

3. Share- Share our known resources and/or information about events/workshops that other women can use to learn and grow. Like the LEEC meetings. Below is a flyer for their upcoming events!! 

4. Feedback- Provide positive, good feedback that they can use to help them improve and define what they want to do and the goals they want to reach. 

5. Network- Finally, help build their network. Invite them to events or workshops that will allow them to obtain new resources and contacts. Networking events help connect people and their talents. 

How will you help empower the women in your community?
