Empowered Women International

Your life is a story, it's scripted by you. 

By the new things you learn, by the things that you do.

You can reach for the stars. You can help others, too.

You can learn from the past so our futures come true.

So reach for the stars. Let yourself shine.

I know you can do it one step at a time.

Dig deep down inside, polish the glow.

Your story's within you.

Now let it grow.
