Esther said it better!
Hear from someone who joined us a year ago.
"I found my identity here. I found love. I found a home. I found a place that not only builds dreams but births a legacy. Before coming to Sapphire, I did not think it was possible to keep going in life. I thought that all hope in the world was lost. I came across them on Meetup in early 2017 and since then I have reminded in a place that accepted me for who I am" - Esther (POET)

TRUE ACCEPTANCE
True happiness can only exist in acceptance - for most of my life, I have lived in pain, anger, denial, anguish, depression, oppression - you name it! I just never fully felt happy in my self. The day I finally felt accepted was the day I became truly happy.
I did not need to be defined the norms, rules, standards and regulations of this world. I no longer felt I had to be validated by other women. I no longer felt the need to conform to the lies of this world. I knew that the only acceptance I ever needed was from him. No longer do I spend my time waiting for people to call me valuable nor adequate! I now see me! I now see my worth! I love me! But most of all, I am free to be me.
