I praise God for KYW. At first I thought it was just something that would remind women of their value, so I was down from the jump because I always loved to encourage people. But when I went to my first KYW party and the dress code was whatever makes you comfortable, I think I fell in love with what KYW was about. I love to be in my own skin and to fashion myself nicely. So for every KYW event that I attend, I dress up and wear what I feel good about, what I feel comfortable in, and what I think will represent my personality. Ultimately, I was able to be comfortable about being who God has made me to be. AN INDIVIDUAL AND BEAUTIFUL! Being who we are individually helps us to look at how the Lord is using us in the body of Christ, that we are not to be afraid or ashamed but ready (“she ready” 😂 – Tiffany Haddish.) So I hope everyone will learn their worth, because we all have it and should love it.

I’m not one to jump on the bandwagon of things but from the very first-time lady Alonda Hassell introduced us to the Know Your Worth movement I knew it was going to be something different. Since a little girl I never felt that I fit in with other little girls & as I grew into a teenager & then as a woman, I still didn’t seem to fit in. I remember we had a Know Your Worth conference, it was Saturday, July 23^rd, 2016 & Pastor Arvetta Woody told my story that I had hidden for soooo many years. My life has not been the same since that day. I like me, as a matter of fact I love me, I love everything about me! I can now look back over my life & pick up the broken pieces & heal. I’m a true testimony of how knowing your worth can change you from the battered broken woman you use to be to the beautiful queen god has ordained you to be. I’m so thankful for lady Alonda Hassell & her Know Your Worth movement.

I am incredibly thankful to Alonda Hassell (Lady Hassell) and her Know Your Worth Movement. Know Your Worth has made a tremendous change in my life. Her annual dance and brunch help me to stop and just be a woman and not the occasional hats that we as women tend to wear. However what has made a positive impact in my life has been her daily motivational and inspirational Facebook posts that are filled with so much wisdom and love. These post help me to self-reflect as well as recognize the positive changes and the personal growth I have made over the years. More importantly these post have helped me see the healing that has taken place in my journey.  Know Your Worth has encouraged  me to love and value myself and has also shown me how to encourage other women. Thank you Lady Hassell for being such an inspirational Woman.

The Know Your Worth Movement has been a blessing to me. The topics each week is like peeling another layer of the onion getting to the core of who God has created me to be. For years I lived with low self esteem hiding behind a façade. The movement has encouraged, inspired, empower, enlighten, and comfort me. It has opened my eyes to being ok with who God has made me. He does not make mistakes. No more self-pity and low self-esteem. No more listening and replaying the negative words, thoughts and behaviors that have plagued me and had power over me. Every week I am encourage through the movement to have another mirror experience and ask God to search me, help me and heal me. Each time, another layer of the onion has been removed. Through the tears of self-awareness, I am realizing my worth little by little. There were times in my past, that I felt like I was a mistake……….
