'Power' Star Naturi Naughton on Embracing the Powerful Woman Inside of You

Ladies, please take a seat! Spread yourself across your couch, breathe slow, deep breaths and awaken your spirit. Now think of your mother, your grandmothers, great-grandmothers, aunts, sisters, girlfriends, mentors, even yourself. Tears begin to flow when I think of the strong women that have enriched my life. I can’t imagine life without the loving tenderness of my mother, the wisdom of my grandmothers, the struggle of my great-grandmothers, and the listening spirit of my best girlfriends. Womanhood is such a complex existence.
