Taking The Plunge

When my friend Bennie Doggett encouraged me to apply for Emerge Kentucky, I was skeptical. Nevertheless, I took " the plunge ". Accepting her advice and encouragement, I completed the application proccess and by God's grace, here I am! I'm a member of the inaugural class for Emerge Kentucky.
                                                                                                   
After the first class, I was sure that Bennie had lost her mind. There was no way that I could measure up to the intelligence and ingenuity of those women. There are lawyers, a judge, social workers, and women who have devoted years to community service and leadership in the class.

Now, after three classes, I realize that Emerge Kentucky is a fertile ground of opportunity and enrichment showing women like me how to make the seeds grow.
