The CNMI Women\u2019s Association, along with the Office of the Governor\u2019s Women\u2019s Affairs Office, is inviting the community to attend the signing of a proclamation designating March 2023 as CNMI\u2019s Women\u2019s Month. The signing is to take place 2:30pm today at the American Memorial Park\u2019s indoor theater.<\/p>\n
The organizations are focusing this year on \u201cWELLNESS,\u201d an acronym to mean Women Entrepreneurs Leading Life and Nourishing Economic Sustainable Solutions. Women\u2019s Affairs Office\u2019s special adviser Shirley Ogumoro, and CWA\u2019s president Cecilia Taitano will be among the speakers at today\u2019s ceremony, which will be concluded with the governor signing the proclamation.<\/p>\n
When speaking to CWA\u2019 project director, Valentina Rivera, she explained a little more on the chosen theme of the year \u201cWe want women in the CNMI to lead life in a healthy, proactive environment in their own lives; but also [we wanted] in a sense to sort of reiterate what we\u2019ve been doing these past few months, including late last year, which is economic sustainability, in a sense where women should take charge of their finances or like their dreams to be economically viable, and independently. \u2026We can empower other women as much as we can, we can put out that message like, \u2018Hey, we have this, we have that,\u2019 and all that messaging, but really at the end of it all, it\u2019s based solely on that one woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rivera added \u201cSo I think our message right now is like sort of have a consistency in what you want to do. So let\u2019s say if you want to be a business owner, you have your dream business, or even dream job; go for that and be consistent in what you want, because in the end of it all, it\u2019s you, and not other women hyping you. It\u2019s about proclaiming to the world that you have your life and you control it and you\u2019re going to get what you want. \u2026Do what you feel you need to do to make your life healthy and happy and to go for your dreams because in the end it\u2019s only just you…\u201d<\/p>\n
