Introduction to Women in Power & Unifying over a coffee, or tea.

They say women will save us..

You know, I’ve been around for a while. I’ve seen a lot. Desert Storm, Iraq, the rise and fall of empires, and moments that shook the world to its core. I was here when September 11th happened, and I watched as it captured the minds of a nation — some for the better, some for the worse. But here’s the thing: I’ve also seen us rise. I’ve seen us come together, even when it felt like the world was whittling away at our spirit. And that’s why I know, deep in my bones, that we’ll get through this too.

The Pivotal Moments

Life has a way of shaping you, doesn’t it? I’ve had my share of pivotal moments — moments that could’ve broken me but didn’t. Instead, they made me who I am today. And right now, I’m looking around, and I see a lot of people feeling like the ground is shifting beneath their feet. I get it. It’s scary. But let me tell you something: this is temporary. We’ve been here before, and we’ve always found a way forward.

Why I Created $IT and $WIP

That’s why I created $IT — Impeach Trump. Because sometimes, you have to take a stand. Sometimes, you have to say, “Enough is enough.” And sometimes, you have to create something that gives people a way to fight back without violence. That’s what $IT is about. It’s about using our wallets, our voices, and our collective power to demand accountability. Elon Musk has completely taken over our government. My X account was suspended but it’s been amazing. I don’t stress about what I’m doing. Or saying.

And then there’s $WIP — Women In Power. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that when women rise, we all rise. This isn’t about division; it’s about balance. It’s about creating a world where everyone has a seat at the table.

The Rapid Changes

I know things are moving fast. I know it’s hard to keep up. That’s why I’ve also created tools to help people scan their investments, to make sense of the chaos. Because when times are dicey, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing control. But here’s the truth: you’re not. This is just a season. And like all seasons, it will pass.

God’s Promise

I’ve been through some dark times. I’ve been in places where I didn’t think I’d make it out. But God was there. Every single time. And if He can be there for me — a flawed, stubborn, but determined soul — what’s to say He won’t be there for you too? All it takes is a little trust. A little patience. And the belief that, no matter how bad it looks, we’re never alone in this fight.

A Call to Action

So here’s what I’m asking: Stand with me. Use your wallet. Use your voice. Support movements like $IT and $WIP. Demand accountability from those in power. And most importantly, don’t lose hope. We’ve been here before, and we’ve always found a way through. This time is no different.

Conclusion

We’re going to get through this. Not because it’s easy, but because we’ve done it before. And because, deep down, we know that when we stand together, there’s nothing we can’t overcome. So let’s keep moving forward. Let’s keep fighting. And let’s remember: God is with us. And if He’s with us, who can be against us?
