Celebrate the women in your life for their efforts and contributions. Your sisters, mother, aunts, cousins and many others. These are people who have done so much for you and for our community. From their home-cooked food, to doing daily chores. Some work tough jobs to help sustain the family. These women are willing to push their limits to ensure the best for you and for those around them.
