Our ancestors lead the way. We are connected to each other all over the world.
Our mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, nieces, friends and sisters would be proud of what women today have been able to accomplish over the many years. We honor all that they have contributed to our lives and to our sisterhood.
It is very rewarding to acknowledge our ancestors who came before us. They lived, they thrived, they loved, they suffered, and they are relevant to our lives today. If it were not for them, we would not be.
It’s that simple:
1. Remember Them
1. Remember Them
Recall fond memories you have of them. If they came before you and you never met them, ask your parents and grandparents to tell you stories about them. This keeps them in the present.
2. Build an Altar
