Difference is power
"I believe that the 21st century is the century of the multi facetted woman, she is empowered, fun, warm, decisive, action driven and a builder of communities. She is a mother, daughter, sister as well as an innovator, professional or business leader. This is the century when we reach our full potential and make the world a more abundant place." - Yomi Abiola
