It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us


Our Greatest Fear 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

The Blossom Pledge


I came across this pledge and website, this is a much needed pledge to recite in our society and community.
It is important that we continue to encourage young women that there is still hope and solutions to whatever obstacles they face.

The blossom pledge because  Every girl deserves to blossom. 

I am a young woman

like a flower in bloom

I am a beautiful work in progress

I am improving myself and setting an example for my peers

each day gives me a new opportunity to do that

I have all that I need to succeed-right here

and the potential to be more tomorrow than I am today

I am so much more than my face, my clothes, or where I live

I am a reflection of my ancestors, who have paved the way for me

I am a reflection of hope and purpose

but most importantly I am a reflection of my blossom sisters

and all young women who are taking this life journey

this will allow them to become successful, compassionate and

strong women!

YEM youth empowerment mission, inc.  is dedicated to creating comprehensive long-term solutions that give young people in high-risk environments real alternatives to violence and delinquency while addressing the underlying conditions that influence this self-destructive life style.
