Giving Voice gives me life in so many ways. The conversations with other GV sisters always leave me with more to think and pray about months later. Within our membership we have diverse perspectives that have enriched my life and have helped me grow as a person. For me, Giving Voice truly represents the global sisterhood. The laughter and joy keeps me going in tough times. Being a part of Giving Voice reminds me that I’m not alone in living this beautiful yet challenging life and I know that we have a bright future ahead of us. 

Religious life has given me so much in the last 10 years of being a part of my congregation and the larger global sisterhood. This unique God-quest has led me to relationships and experiences that have helped me grow in every facet of my life. I feel very blessed to live out the liberating mission of Jesus Christ with amazing women.
