7 Powerful Quotes From Our Haitian Women, Celebrating Women’s History Month
This month we celebrate all the women in our lives. Our sisters. Cousins. Girlfriends. Role-models. Coaches. Those who elevate our spirit with a word, who push us with their strength, and lead the path with their courage. We admire and honor women from around the globe.
To celebrate our Haitian women, we’ve picked 7 quotes from some of the changemakers, entrepreneurs, and business owners we have interviewed. Their uplifting messages are worth citing.

Voice projection is so important, and clear dictation as well. When i was drama we practiced this for hours so we could be heard all the way to back of the auditorium without a microphone, but at the same time we were not yelling, only projecting our voices. There is an art to it.
Clear dictation, Yes yes! Thank you Jen😀
Good advice! I used Zoom with my students at the end of the year and became very conscious of several of these.
