Interviews with Women: "What's Your Motivation?"


What Motivates You? 

Women all around the world motivate me. There is always someone experiencing it worse than me and I want them to know that they are not alone in this. They are worth more than that. I would say my mom help shape my life because I seen here struggle as a single unwed young mother to give me everything she possibly could.


My faith, family, friends, and co-workers motivate me to continue being the best person I can be. My mother and my sister and my husband are three strong individuals that help shape my life.- Trudian Gordon


I am motivated on my journey by the young women that I teach. They are using me as inspiration, so I make sure I tell them about my experiences. I make sure that they do not shy away from opportunities to enhance their learning. I also remind them that that they have to take care of themselves on their journey. As females we tend to take on the "superwoman" role and cannot say "NO". I have learned through trial and error that I have to take care of me before I can tend to those around me. My parents play a major role in who I am today. Growing up they did not coddle me, but let me explore the world around me and learn from my mistakes.” Samantha Brown

My children are my biggest motivation to continue my journey in becoming a better person and setting a positive example hopefully influencing them to embrace, respect and love equality as I do. They motivate me continue journey in being a productive citizen without being affected by negative behaviors such as discrimination of any kind. The one person that I can honestly say has helped shape and mold me is my dearest mother whom has the heart of a saint with only room for love for any living creature on this earth.” -Jacqueline Toro






My son is my motivation. As a woman a black woman having a child before the average age of 23, 24 I am determine to give him a "good' life. I want to make sure I continue my education and do so without government assistance. Basically not to become another black statistic!”  Shanna-Kaye Kerr

All women need a support system and people to motivate them to keep them grounded. I have found that for everything I do there is something motivating me. I am a teacher and my children also motivate me. As a daughter my parents motivate me to always do my best. But my message to women is, be your own motivation. I teach because I love to teach and I am motivated to make a difference in a child's life. I do my best because I want to be successful.

I'm a self motivated woman - I don't need anyone or anything extra - I feel that just being the best version of myself is the key to keeping my mind centered.

Techno is my motivation, music is my truth.
