Opportunities for Women #31
Compiled by Anthonia Abraham and Ibukunoluwa Okusanya
Hey sis and welcome to another edition of Opportunities for Women!
If you look closely at today’s picture, you can see one color prominently stand out, and that’s red. According to the London Image Institute, red attracts the most attention and is associated with strong emotions, such as love, passion, and anger. It is the universal color to signify strength, power, courage, and danger.
Here at Sisterly HQ, we love the color red because it doesn’t show weakness. Also, it shows strength and power, something we believe that every girl, woman and sister can have with our opportunities! Read and be inspired!
