During this Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we gathered not only to raise our consciousness about our health and well-being, but also to renew our commitment to one another, our chapter, and the communities we are privileged to serve.
The LaGrange (GA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated was honored to welcome the 11th National President of The Links, Incorporated, Patricia Russell-McCloud, Esq., who served as National President from 1994 to 1998. An international motivational speaker, trainer, best-selling author, spiritual-leader and attorney, Madam 11th joined us for an unforgettable afternoon of reflection, connection, and growth.
She led us through “And This I Promise: Leadership, Courage, Sisterhood, and Legacy,” a riveting three-hour interactive workshop that challenged us to think deeply about how we lead, how we show up for one another, and the legacy we are creating through our service and sisterhood.
Using her “Key Notes” Elevation Card Deck as part of the experience, she transformed the room into a space for meaningful conversation, laughter, introspection, and honest reflection. We were reminded that leadership is not simply about the positions we hold. It is about the promises we make, the courage with which we keep them, and the impact we leave behind.
And as we observed Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we were also reminded that caring for ourselves is essential to our ability to care for others. Our health matters. Our friendship matters. Our service matters.
We left the room encouraged, challenged, connected, and even more intentional about the promises we make to ourselves, to each other, and to the communities we serve.
Here’s to leadership with courage, sisterhood with purpose, and a legacy worthy of those who came before us. 💚
