Hello Ladies, and Happy Women's History Month. This month's blog is being dedicated to all of the strong, beautiful, determined, and high spirited women out there. The women who plays many roles and most times don't get the credit she deserves. The women who no matter how many times she gets knocked down, she picks herself back up and keeps going. Yes many don't like to acknowledged how important a woman's role is in this world, I'm here to let you know how important we are. They say this is a man's world, but I beg to differ. Women are the foundation of this great nation, and to all my ladies out there don't forget how important you are. This blog is to help motivate and inspire letting you know that your not alone. The struggles may always be around but always remember.." A successful woman is one who can build a strong foundation with the bricks others have thrown at Her".

These women being featured have shown that you can accomplish anything you put your mind too, as they will tell you how they accomplished their dreams, what inspired them, why they think women empowerment is important, and how they help their communities in doing so...Enjoy!
Lydia Christian, Owner Of Chic Perla
I began my company June of 2015 and its a line of beaded jewelry and Shea/Mango Butter for body and hands
My inspiration was at the time my 5 year old daughter. I couldn't find jewelry that was for everyday wear and for every outfit. She was the one who came up with the idea of us making our own pieces and from there we kept going. The Shea butters were my idea because as women would try on my pieces, I noticed dry hands, lol!! I make crème for my daughter Maya because she has eczema and lotions just don't work. I make a blend of Shea, Mango and Aloe Butters with different oils to hydrate the skin and keep it moist. What keeps me going is the love for the craft!!
The empowerment of women is important to me because we as women need to stick together and uplift each other. Women tend to be so catty and non-supportive that bringing awareness that we can all be great is very important. Even if two women make or do the same thing, its not the same!!
My services help the community because it shows that an everyday woman can come up with an idea and make it happen on little money. Some get the impression that you need a ton of money to start your own company but in all actuality all you need is support and a great idea. My products are for the whole family. I have not purchased lotion for my household in over a year. We use my products and so does my family and close friends. The crème soufflé is for all skin types. Family and Friends noticed the difference in their skin immediately after just a couple of uses.

Aquira Greene, Author of "No Injections Needed"
My name is Aquira Greene, I am 27 years young. I’ve always had a entrepreneurial spirit as a young girl. When I was about 15 years of age I started my own babysitting club with a old friend of mine. That’s when I knew that I wanted to never work for anyone because of the way I felt being my own boss. I am currently in an amazing network marketing company that helps me to gain financial freedom while traveling the world with my son. I’ve been on about 8 vacations in the past 3 years. I am a new recent self published author and the name of my book is called “No injections Needed”. My book was inspired by the bullying I endured because of having full lips as a child. As a black woman our features aren’t recognized until someone of another ethnic group goes and pays for it. For example Kyile Jenner went out and brought some fuller lips and supposedly made full lips trendy. So I decided to write a book about my experiences and I will use this platform as an author to uplift women in my community.
My purpose of this book is to uplift & encourage every young adult or woman that is currently dealing with or has experienced some of the same issues I have. If there is one thing that I want you to keep in mind when you are on your journey searching your own beauty would be that we all have some things that we might want to change. We all have insecurities. Society may never accept or acknowledge your beauty however, you must know that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you. You should always have confidence to stand up and say this is my super power and I have the features that people pay thousands of dollars to have today.
What keeps me going is knowing that we are not here on this earth plane forever. It is important to me to leave my mark and be who I am destined to be and be a positive light in the world we live in today.
Women empowerment is very important to me because being a woman is not easy. You have to be a wife, mom, friend, sister, daughter and sometimes bread winner. You have to do all these things all the while keeping yourself up spiritually, mentally and psychically. There are almost no days off. Women need to be reminded what we bring to the table and lift each other up along the way.

Martine Quigley, Founder of Happy Yoga Inc.
Happy Yoga, Inc was officially founded in 2012 with the sole purpose of uplifting my clients primarily through yoga, pranayama, and meditation. In addition I also offer mat pilates and personal training sessions, but my focus and passion lies in yoga. My husband and I did the Transcendental Meditation course in 2008 and have been meditating twice a day since. Doing that kind of internal investigation really began to open my eyes (subtly at first) to how I could of service to others. I began with my pilates certification in 2010 and then 2 years later I was certified to teach yoga. In order to expand my reach I also became a certified personal trainer so that I could leave the world of medical billing (one of my many different careers prior to Happy Yoga) and focus solely on my own business of teaching classes, private, and semi-private sessions. What I bring to my sessions and classes are so much more than the physical, my passion, love for other beings, sense of humor, ability to listen and be there for others, and open heart all come with the package.
Health and wellness has always been a passion of mine and I wanted to share it's benefits with others. Through yoga and meditation I aim to have my clients feel the openness, expansion, relief, and release that goes along with the practice, it is truly an uplifting feeling and I know they have found it when they come out of a savasana looking so much more relaxed and unattached then when I first walked in. I also love seeing them discover new things about their bodies and their abilities, it's amazingly rewarding and heart warming.
Women are so smart, we're not just intelligent, but we're emotionally intelligent as well. We also have a higher pain threshold than men! There is nothing, no other cause that gets me more excited or revved up than supporting women. We are powerful beings and we need to be supported and support one another in this world and that is always my intention through my teachings. Last year I completed my prenatal yoga certification at the Prenatal Yoga Center. It was one of the most empowering experiences. The clear support, love, and enthusiasm for women giving life, educating them on their choices, and helping them discover what's good for their bodies, I am excited to be a part of that community. It's a great time to be a woman, we are seeing a shift happen in politics, in Hollywood, in business, it's exciting!
Happy Yoga, Inc is not just about teaching people to look like Yoga Journal. So many yogis out there post beautiful photos of themselves doing poses that most people may not be able to do. The goal of my company is to make yoga accessible to all and also to find your power through it. I have had people come to me in the beginner classes saying that they were afraid to try to yoga because they're not flexible enough, or this and that, I am part of the movement that wants to show people that just like anything, with patience and commitment you can physically open the body and also discover a mental and emotional release which will help people not be slaves to the hamster wheel of their thoughts but instead be able to be unattached and shift their perspectives with ease!

In conclusion, I would like to thank you beautiful ladies for being apart of this blog. You all inspire me to keep growing to become the best me I can be. I hope this inspires all women of all ethnicity's, cultures, and backgrounds to come together and realize how strong we are and can become. Lets continue to support each other. I will end this statement with one of my favorite quotes which keeps me going, "A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE HAS THE COURAGE TO OVERCOME TOUGH TIMES IN HER LIFE AND PURSUE HER GOALS BECAUSE SHE STANDS FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES IN AND NEVER GIVES UP ON HER VALUES OR VIRTUES!
