believe in your power ...

The Glinda Factor celebrates the stories of women who influenced every aspect of America’s history, from sports to scientific breakthroughs. They all drew upon the power within them to follow their dreams and change our nation.

We all have the power within us to follow our dreams. Sometimes, however, that power can be hard to recognize — it's trusting in your abilities; it's embracing your strengths and accepting your weaknesses; it's being strong enough to ask for help along the way; it's never giving up.

I will be the best and most unique in my field.
