Power of Being Female “I believe being a woman is the most powerful gift one can have. Femininity itself is power. We’re influential, we’re community builders, connectors, the givers of life responsible for human existence. Although it is impossible to quantify feminine power, I love that we’re able to exert our power with or without words, with our intellect, influence, sensuality, sensitivity, our maternal and nurturing instincts. Our resilience allows us to dodge all the fireballs thrown at us from all angles of society and media. The fact is that we have the incredible ability to switch roles throughout the day without having a meltdown (most of the time anyway).”
