Golden Women
Gold has to be refined and endure a substantial process to become the precious metal we know it to be. Life has a way of refining our character while our life experiences and paths outline our process. If we allow it, we could become valuable to our families, our communities and ourselves, making us Golden too.
Here are some Golden Women who are giving back to their communities, by any means. Read their inspiring stories here:
