5 M Purpose Journey

The “award-winning” 5 M Purpose Journey was created by Dr. Cynthia Harper. A former student of “Going Places Network”, a women’s empowerment program sponsored by Walmart for Dress For Success, Cynthia was recognized for her exemplary leadership. After getting her voice back and being chosen as a delegate, she was tasked with creating a community action project, alongside a myriad of countries. With hard work and dedication, Dr. Harper’s project, the 5 M Purpose Journey was chosen 1st place among 20-30 countries.  It has been said countless times, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.” Finishing strong is the repayment for a life broken, and then restored. Like all women, we have a story of reinventing ourselves after life’s mishaps. Whether it’s going deeper into your faith, gender pay gap, lack of childcare, or emotional and medical crisis/unemployment; our cry is verbose and must be heard. Though escaping valley experiences is beyond our control, regardless of social economics, culture, or education, when given the right tools, women can overcome poverty. When women experience severe scarcity, society suffers negative effects. Maintaining healthy lifestyles for women is relevant for Lady Justice to embrace the embodiment of equality.

Being a recipient of both self-sufficiency and poverty, I can attest to the impact of the struggle. Therefore, my question is, “Should the suffrages of women be a burden on a few or should this immense movement be embraced by many?” Having experienced the climb of reinventing myself, I understand adversity. Being compelled to share my story, I decided to take it further to prevent and empower other women from defeat in times of trouble. Modeling mothership organization, Dress for Success, I desire to assist women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, housing, and development tools to help women thrive at work, life and escape poverty. Therefore, addressing five areas where many women find themselves struggling as they attempt to reinvent themselves; money, motivation, medical, mental Illness and metabolism

The 5M Purpose Journey: “Women Influencing Women” to Re-invent Themselves has five components: Money, Motivation, Medical, Mental Illness, and Metabolism. At the culmination of this project, five women, who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities will be chosen and supported financially to participate in a Woman Business Incubator, (WBI) for existing and/or start-up businesses.
