Power Play
She's not waiting for a seat at the table. She's bringing her own.
The world always had a vision of power.
For centuries, the ones who held it were determined by those who spoke the loudest, who had the most force behind their actions, and who had the connections to climb the ladder. Power wasn’t designed for her. It wasn’t built for ambitious women who didn’t fit the mold. No, power was reserved for those who had the loudest voices, the heaviest footsteps, and the firmest handshakes.
She was supposed to watch from the sidelines. Assist, follow, be present—but never in control. She was supposed to stand by and let others dictate the direction, the decisions, and the path forward. She was supposed to be content with staying in the background. But that was never her way.
She wasn’t going to play by their rules. Not when it meant silencing her own potential. She was a woman, yes, but she was also capable, determined, and hungry for more.
Real power moves in silence. It doesn’t seek permission. It doesn’t wait for approval.
It watches, learns, and when the time is right, it strikes.
When she first entered the corporate world, she quickly noticed the imbalance. No women at the top. No women leading. The higher-ups were all men who were quick to dismiss her, label her as incapable, or simply ignore her potential. They saw her as someone who didn’t belong, someone who couldn’t make decisions, couldn’t influence the market, and couldn’t understand what 'real business' was about. Women were seen as helpers, support staff, but never the ones making the calls.
That’s when she decided enough was enough. She wasn’t going to sit back and let them define her, let them tell her what she could and couldn’t achieve. She worked harder than anyone—always learning, always pushing, always working towards success.
Slowly, she made her presence felt. She wasn’t just another voice; she became the voice that couldn't be ignored. But even as she grew, she knew that it wasn’t enough. She didn’t want to just be another puppet in someone else’s play. She didn’t want to climb their ladder when it wasn’t meant for her.
So, she made her own. She created her own path, built her own business, and became the boss she always knew she could be. The men who dismissed her? They couldn’t understand how she managed to make it on her own. They didn’t get it. And honestly? That was just fine.
Starting her own business wasn’t easy. It was hard. There were nights when it felt almost impossible to achieve, when it felt like the odds were stacked too high. But nothing felt more satisfying than proving to the world—especially to the men who thought they had it all figured out—that she didn’t need their approval, and she didn’t need their rules. She could rise without permission. She could build her own empire on her own terms.
