Congratulations, Tijuana!
I'm finally graduating from the Women's Enterprise Center of Wings. My time was delayed due to life happening, but I've finally met the requirements and will be displaying some of the accomplishments I've made during the past 12 months. To everyone who has a dream, never give up on your dream. There will be those who say you can't or shouldn't and to them you should say, "I will and I am." It may take you longer than some and so what! Keep going because the journey is paved with ups and downs and most of all your blood, sweat, tears and new found knowledge. No one can take that from you, ever. This is only the beginning!
Congratulations to the talented women who graduated from our Women's Enterprise Center this week. From skin care and fashion design to childcare, medical processing and nonprofit services, these women are bringing valuable products and services to the Dallas market. We can't wait to hear more about their successful businesses.
