With the support of other she gained the knowledge and confidence to lead and inspire others. Jenise’s belief statement about this organization states “I believe wholeheartedly in this organization, in what it embodies through its creed, through its officers, through its members. There have been so many wonderful role models to guide me and mentor me to be who I am today. I am so grateful to those who have befriended me, who have encouraged and supported me in my journey in Minnesota Women of Today.”
