Calling All Divas!

Divas With a Purpose (DWP) began as a call to action after numerous events in my life and those close to me. So often, there is a need and people willing to fulfill the need but nothing to organize them or connect them with one another. I truly believe in the village concept and that if I succeed, it is my duty to help someone else – just as other helped me along the way. I may not always have the answer, but I would like to think I have enough resources to lead you in the right direction.


My vision for DWP is to establish a network of women (DIVAs) that are committed to helping one another succeed – whether it be professionally, personally or spiritually. We’ve all been in a situation where we may have needed assistance and did not know who or where to go to. DWPs can be the first link in the chain.

What do the DIVAS of DWP consist of?


First she’s Driven. There has to be something within her that makes her want to succeed and help others to succeed. It may be a passion for volunteering, education, children, the list could go on and on. Overall, she wants to be positive and…

Inspiring! A DIVA is optimistic and has no room for negativity in her world. She inspires others with her daily walk and talk. She does not have to be a motivational or inspirational speaker or writer, but her day to day actions speak volumes to who and what she is. She has a…

Victorious attitude! She knows that she is capable of doing all things through Christ whom strengthens her! She spreads that attitude to those around her and encourages them to walk as though they’ve already succeed, talk as though they’ve already had a breakthrough, and act as though they are blessed beyond measure. She knows that having big plans and motivation is great but in order to truly succeed they must be able to put their plans into…

Action. Not only is a DWP great at making plans, she is able to get things done. She is able to network, delegate and get the job done herself if necessary!

1/3/11 Gratitude List
  1. A Saviour who provides peace and comfort. I may not always understand why He does what He does, but I have faith that He knows best and will equip me with what I need to deal and respond with His actions.
  2. My extended family. They are the most loving and giving group of people that I know.
  3. A husband who may not always know what to say or how to react, but is always standing by with a hug or two when I need one.
  4. A busy work day to keep my mind occupied.
  5. Friends who are there when I need them the most - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Be blessed Divas and be a blessing to those around you!

  1. Michelle -

    Great post! We are both on a similar journey!

    I am sure that my wife can say the same thing as your #3 item. Guys may not always know what to say or how to react, but I know that I support my wife with whatever she wants to do (or not do).

    I have been keeping a gratitude journal for a long time now - it is wonderful! When times seem bleak, having the ability to review things that I have personally provided me gratitude is a very wonderful thing.

    Be Well.
    Paul.

  6. I believe we were drawn together because we share similar missions! Amazing how that happens. Just read this today, but realized I also made a list of things to be thankful for and also want to create a strong network of black women who support and encourage one another. To me this is confirmation that we are on the correct journey! God Bless and Prosper you.
