Power of your “Purse” – Straight Talk for Women, was created because the voice of telling it straight without filters for women is way too silent. There are soft murmurs here and there, but having a full-on talk with your fellow women about what makes a woman a woman, what makes her special, the awesome power she has within, and discussing the value of herself just does not exist. We may all have different walks of life, but we all share one commonality - we are women and when we join together, we are Powerful!
My mission is for women of all ages to join together to make a difference by sharing open and honest communication - and by giving back to build a sisterhood of empowered and successful women.
"Let’s talk about what makes a woman powerful"
"Let’s discuss women building women up instead of tearing each other down"
"Let’s open up honest communication about sex and the effect it has on the body, mind and emotions"
"Let’s chat about beauty on the inside and outside"
"Let's learn more about our health and finances, and so much more..."
"Let's have Straight Talk for Women!"

There are a few platforms, but not ones that are straight from the mouths of real women and that are willing to share discussion openly. Information is Power and The Power of the “Purse” – Straight Talk for Women, has a goal to empower women through open and honest communication. “I would like to create a community of women that believe in learning from each other and talking to each other in order to create a positive up rise in our society.
