This poem was written by the Rev. Eunice Vega-Perez for Women's History Month and was shared at the General Commission on the Status and Role of Women's 2023 Spring Board Meeting.
Poem:
To be a woman…………is a gift from God.
To be a strong woman…….is also a gift and a responsibility from God.
To be a strong woman of faith……. A prophetic voice and advocacy are a must.
God, thanks for all our foremothers who have paved the way.
Amen.
