The allotted time from Jan. 5 to 9 is recognized to encourage women to be proud of their accomplishments and the roles they play in society, as well as to set new goals toward personal growth. Exiga feels that being a single parent and pursuing her bachelor’s degree has made her a strong independent woman.

Self-empowerment

Women’s Self Empowerment Week, observed Jan. 5 to 9, is a time for women to reflect on and feel good about their accomplishments, roles in society, as well as establish new goals for the future. U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt. Gina Thursby, Senior Airman Jason D. Cunningham Airmen Leadership School commandant, said it’s important for women to be self-empowered because they can’t depend on someone else for fulfillment and accomplishment. She added that to be self-empowered is to be driven and self-motivated. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Jamal D. Sutter/Released)
