We are our true, authentic selves. We will not dim our light to conform to ideologies of others to suit their narrative. Take us for what we are; we offer no alterations. -
INDIFFERENCE:
We remain unbothered by and unmoved by outside opinions and forces. We will not give time to invalid criticism or hate – it will not affect our decisions, we will always do the right thing, not the easy thing. -
DIVERSITY:
We take pride in our voodoo style, accepting everything in everyone – including each other as well as ourselves. We understand that everyone has value to add. Individually we are capable of greatness but together – we are unstoppable. -
INNOVATION:
We are trendsetters in the nonprofit & social club industries,
doing more of what hasn’t been done before. We will become recognized leaders of excellence in our community and THE KREWE to join! -
COMMUNITY:
We love and value our community, working hard to pour into it on every opportunity we can. We understand that we are nothing without our community and those in it and seek to enrich it every day. -
EMPATHY:
We don’t confuse empathy with sympathy. We offer hand-ups rather than hand-outs. We move with grace without becoming a victim of ungratefulness. -
ENTHUSIASM:
We are thankful for this opportunity and look forward to all it brings. We understand and value what it will do for our selfcare, sisterhood, and the community. We will make it the best experience ever!
