"Seeing people come to buy fish and handing the owner, money, this cat went out and got a leaf to pay for her fish. On the first day, the owner of the shop thought this was very cute, so he gave her a small fish. Now everyday this cat comes in to buy a fish with a leaf." ❤

"I was pulled over today for speeding. The officer did not know me nor did I know him, but we each showed one another a mutual display of respect in our interaction. He was doing his job, and I had made a mistake in trying to hurry home to get started moving that lead to our path's crossing. He ran my information, and in the end we talked more about how our individual days were going, and the situations and circumstances within our society that have lead to interactions such as he and I's to play out much more negatively, some even deadly, than ours, than we talked about the situation that lead to him pulling me over. In the end we both thanked each other for our mutual displays of respect and agreed to take a "selfie" together to help tell our story.
I can't stress enough that NO demographic and/or profession of people are all bad. Neither of us are the enemy. We can continue to fight against each other until we are literally "black and blue", or we can show one another the respect we inherently deserve, not as "black man" and "blue police officer", but as humans. None greater, none less... "

Our Story
The mission of the American Business Women’s Association (ABWA) is to bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.
The Turquoise Chapter of ABWA was founded in Phoenix, AZ in 1976. The chapter grew quickly and soon the Camelback Chapter split off from the Turquoise Chapter. While Turquoise remained a downtown chapter, Camelback Chapter met on the east side of the valley. In 1991, the two chapters rejoined, and chose the name Turquoise Camel, giving the chapter a clear identifiable brand. Since its earliest days, the chapter has been focused most especially on providing educational opportunities for women. They have done this through speakers at our monthly meetings, presenting chapter scholarships, and giving financial support to the ABWA national Stephen Bufton Memorial Education Fund. SBMEF provides outright grants, scholarships, and tuition reimbursement.
