\u201cLead together, praise one another, and support one another.\u201d<\/p>\n
These were the encouraging words of first lady Diann Torres to all women at yesterday\u2019s meet-and-greet at the Hyatt Regency Saipan\u2019s SandCastle, to kick off celebrations of Women\u2019s Month in the CNMI.<\/p>\n
Hosted by House vice speaker Janet Maratita (R-Saipan) and Rep. Alice Igitol (R-Saipan), the event saw the participation of a broad slice of the CNMI community, from individual female leaders, to businesswoman and many female movers and shakers in the Commonwealth.<\/p>\n
Torres, a major advocate of women power, encouraged women to become supportive of one another and empowered those who attended yesterday\u2019s event with her uplifting words.<\/p>\n
She encouraged women to support each other and to be positive towards each other. Too often, women focus on the negativity and less on the positive but Torres said this is a habit that everyone must strive to eradicate. <\/p>\n
\u201cSurround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers, but most of all surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don\u2019t see it yourself,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Torres was just one of several speakers yesterday. (Kimberly A.
