What are the things that help a person become empowered? Running after your goals. Recognizing that you do have dreams and they can be achieved, no matter the obstacles. Realizing you do have abilities. Not letting anyone or anything sideswipe you or knock you off track as you steadfastly head in the direction of success.

This weekend she is the STAR of Muskogee’s Little Theater’s production of “Miracle Worker”.
