This week's Rooted Conversation we talk about identifying affirmation and confirmation in our lives and how to respond in order to move forward in our purpose.

I asked instagram for input and here is what y'all had to say (that didn't make it to the podcast):

1. If it is from God, He will repeat it over and over in many ways

2.Do you have peace about it/How does your heart feel

3. Receiving a sign in more than one form

I encourage us to reflect on our purpose and be sensitive to signs of affirmation in our lives.

This week's GyneShine goes to my fine fine babe Charlene; founder of @CamConnects_ on instagram. CamConnects_ is a cultural network connecting and engaging the young Cameroonian diaspora!

Happy International Womens' Day Queens!

All Month we celebrate women of our past, present and future. In this week's rooted conversation, we are focusing on the women of the present: you, me, that's US! I am giving each and every one of you a shoutout and a clap for praise, here are your flowers, thank you for what you do and your impact!

Our Reflection Point comes from Michelle Obama's Memoir, "Becoming". We reflect on how life is short, and how the convictions of your heart are meant for you, and we ought to embrace them, respond to them and trust them.

Zipporah has a heart for students, and started this service as a means to use her gift for growing students outside the classroom.

This is my recap: listening back there were so many more memories made this past year, that I left out... Which further pushes my point when I tell y'all "DON'T NEGLECT TO REFLECT!"

If you think 2018 was trash, please dig deeper!

The fact that you're alive, and have even an ounce of hope for tomorrow, indicates that it wasn't as bad as you think, sis!
