LEADERSHIP
“It is my belief that all people can become great leaders. As Brene Brown so eloquently says, ‘A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.’ In Maggies, this concept comes to life. Women in this organization dare greatly, ask uncomfortable questions, and encourage you to find your best self. I have learned over time that leadership requires integrity, empathy, accountability, vision, and resilience. Leaders set direction, they motivate, and they guide. Maggies is full of leaders in action, eager to be the change they want to see. I am so grateful to have learned such great qualities from this diverse group of leaders.”

SISTERHOOD
“To me, cultivating a sisterhood means having people that will not only love and support you but also challenge you. Every Maggie is so incredibly unique, but we have a shared appreciation for the relationships we have with each other and work to build and maintain them. We have the deep, and sometimes difficult, conversations while also letting loose and simply enjoying the present. There is truly no replacement for the impact that strong, intentional women have in each of our lives, and Maggies is the place to find them.”
- Diya Jaiswal, Green Shirt
OUTREACH
“Maggies at an organizational level and each individual Maggie have a unique ability to meet you where you are at. I often characterize it as not admonishing you for missing out but celebrating you when you show up, and I think this contributes to the sense of belongingness I feel when I’m in a group of Maggies. Maggies take you in and love you for who you are, and continue to be your biggest cheerleaders wherever you may go.”
- Megan Hinks, Purple Shirt
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
“Within Maggies, you will find yourself surrounded by amazing women who will support, inspire, and challenge you in the best ways possible. Each day presents chances for personal growth, thanks to the remarkable and inquisitive women who surround you. Engaging in conversations with fellow Maggies, whom I look up to, is a truly unique experience, as it not only broadens my understanding of the world but also offers insights into becoming a woman I am proud of. Since becoming a part of this community, I've witnessed my own development, nurtured by the diverse group of Maggies who provide unwavering support and empowerment as we pursue our individual goals. I'm truly captivated by the extraordinary women in this organization and grateful to them for guiding me toward becoming the best possible version of myself.”
- Cadien Myrick, Purple Shirt
COMMITMENT
“Commitment is to dedicate your full attention to a genuine conversation and to truly care about how the other person is doing in their life; commitment is deciding to still get out of your bed even after a long day just to see the pretty smiles from a group of people that you absolutely adore; commitment is signing up for extra bannering shifts while knowing you have an O-Chem exam the next day just because you want to give your entire mind body and soul to the upcoming group of women that you knew will forever change your life. At the end, commitment is nothing but to simply return the same amount of love that all the Maggies have given to me unconditionally.”
- Maggie Wang, Purple Shirt
SERVICE
“Service to me means bettering the world around me with humbleness, kindness, and joyfulness. It is anticipating the needs of others and doing my best each and every day to leave new spaces brighter than I found them. I can serve others through organized community events, but I can also serve others by simply lending a listening ear or encouraging words in a time of need. I know my purpose as a Maggie and as a woman is to share my joyfulness with the world around me, to be kind in my encounters, and to continue every day with the understanding that although I am just one little girl, I really can make a difference in the world through my service.”
- Abigail Garza, Purple Shirt
