The Short Sidedness of “If You Can Dream It, You Can Achieve It”

YWCA

It’s January which means that our social feeds and news stories turn to mentions of New Year, New You and all the associated clichés. Those classic self-help clichés often ignore racial and social disparities – let’s rework them to empower you to approach 2021 so you can move through the year with intentionality. This month, through our blog and on our social media channels, we rewrite some of these clichés to use our own stories in celebrating diversity in the lived experiences of women and people of color. Today’s reflection is from our Executive Assistant & Administrative Manager, Lorena Armenta, Lorena discussing the short sidedness of “If You Can Dream It, You Can Achieve It.”.
