#mwegconf2019 Panel of Women of Influence: Former refugees who are changing the world. "It didn’t matter what country we were in, my mother was always working hard to make sure we were provided for. Not once did my mom complain about the circumstances we left behind." 
2/2 "She focused on the future & opportunities ahead. Different women have pushed you ahead & helped you accomplish in life - the things that have lasting impact are relationships. Sometimes when we see people in need, we pity them. That’s not the way to build a relationship."
3/3 "Approach them as a person with something to contribute rather than defining them by their sad past. How do you empower others? The first step is to see your own divine worth. Once you see that in yourself, you will be more able to see it in others."#empower #mwegconf2019

Dr. Eva Witesman talking about loving your enemy. 💜💜💜✌🏽
Eva Witesman: Peacemaking is partly about wading into difficult waters and about listening.
E. Witesman: Some responses to feeling attacked include fight, flight, freeze, and submit. Recognize when you feel attacked. (Assault/abuse? Get pro help.) Attacks on ideas, beliefs or creations? Try these five steps... #mwegconf2019
