Everybody must have heard about Phenomenal Women by now -- the amazing sisterhood that is sweeping the nation, and beyond. I'm about to fill you in on what all the buzzing is about. Phenomenal Women is one of those "best kept secrets". Making rounds in the networking arena and I noticed that when attending these events, although there were men and women attendees, the majority of the participants were approaching males. Most people who participate in those events go right up to the brother in the three-piece suit. Even when walking down the street, I noticed that Brothers would give each other the "Hello" nod. But we sisters would walk right by each other with our noses up in the air, or just not acknowledging each other at all. I just got fed up. I felt this behavior needed to stop. So, I founded The Phenomenal Women Group. I think we women are amazing and unstoppable, given the right motivation and encouragement. A lot of women ask for career advice and referrals and there are a lot of professionals who belong to Phenomenal Women or look in on the forum, who offer advice and referrals. Women post job openings nationwide. We also talk child rearing, what it is to be a female business owner, what we can do to develop and grow our businesses, we talk about books, authors, baby mama drama, being cheated on, political issues. If it is a life question, we cover it. We laugh; we cry; we teach; we learn. You can meet virtually, hundreds of professional Women of Color who are on a mission to build, motivate and create a legacy for themselves, their children and the Sisterhood. The Phenomenal Women Group compels one to want to build friendships. We come together to support and help one another through whatever situation arises. We are an extended family of one; meaning, if we see a need; whether you feel you need the help or not, we are there for you to the best of our ability.
