Last week, I had the extreme pleasure to sit down with a real life superwoman. This was my second time meeting her but first time with a one on one conversation and I was truly blessed by it. You can listen to the podcast episode here.
Simone Higginbotham is a positive force and it’s apparent that her calling is to serve. When I first met her on The Ron Richardson radio show on WGSO 990am back in February this year, I was introduced to The Weekend Girls. There was an upcoming brunch that focused on empowerment and self care for women. I later found out that she created the Legend Awards in Baton Rouge to shed light on the many unsung heroes in her community and beyond. She’s also the founder of Rebirth magazine. I told you, she’s Superwoman!
Simone Higginbotham
What really stuck out to me back in February was that she did not show up to the radio station alone! The group, they were not her entourage! It was a group of about six women she wanted to introduce to Ron Richardson’s corner of the world. I was in complete awe. The radio host Ron encouraged me to speak and interject but I said I wanted to sit back and let these women shine. I didn’t want to shortchange the less than hour we had with them. As each one shared who they were, I could easily tell that no matter how big or small your role could potentially be, Simone was going to make sure you shined in your area. The group of ladies consisted of a planner, a real estate agent, a travel agent and more.
After sitting down with Simone this time around, it confirmed what my spirit already knew. This was a woman who wants the best for everyone she comes in contact with. She wants everyone to win. She doesn’t need the spotlight. She is not going to gatekeep and best of all, she does it all from the heart. If my words don’t encourage you to get to know Simone Higginbotham, listen to her in her own words on this week’s podcast episode.
Follow Simone on all social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook) and visit her site https://www.rebirthmagazine.com/ for all things women, empowerment, self care, mental health, and how you can support the movement.
Sincerely,
Angie
