Every women is your sister, treat her accordingly. This is a quote I posted on my company Instagram page this week but it's one that has a lot importance to me.
I'm all about women supporting women, hello my business is a women-only Clubhouse called Empowered, but I think us women have a responsibility to look out for the younger generation and pass on our advice to them. I know when I lived in Korea, I was always called "Older Sister Amy" by my younger friends and I did really feel like an older sister to them and to my female boxers at my own boxing club.
Just recently I was approached by a younger female boxer who wanted to do a feature on me. Her topic was women empowerment and she said instantly she thought of me. I was asked a series of about 13 questions and then today she came out to the boxing club to do a photoshoot of me while I trained.
I was flattered she picked me but with it came a lot of personal reflecting. How is it is I embody empowerment, how can I become more empowered and how I can better help empower other women?
To me, empowerment is all about becoming stronger, more confident, and more in control of not only who you are as a person what you stand for and also your life. So women empowerment is all about women really owning who and what they are and taking the reins to their life. I think I show women empowerment by really owning who I am and being loud and proud of not only what I am but with what I’ve been through, sharing my experiences and struggles, and being real. I think through sharing the ups and downs of my life, it can inspire other women to really mustard up the courage to be whatever and whomever they want. I try to live my life as an example. If I can do it, they can do it too.
