She Did It Afraid… at 19

April 1st…

April Fools’ Day.
The anniversary of Marvin Gaye’s death.
And the anniversary of losing my virginity. Yep.

These are the three things I think about every year since 1984.

There I was…19 years old and taking on far more than I was ready for.

So I had to get ready… like so many other young women who found themselves carrying more than they expected.

Today’s Courage Conversation is with an old friend… Benita.

She Did It Afraid At 19 | Courage Conversation with Benita Carter

Her story is one many of us share.

Don’t miss the heart of her journey.

It’s a testimony to what I call Responsibility Courage…
making decisions with long-term consequences in mind.

Benita did it afraid…
not just for herself, but for someone else.

As you listen, I want you to think about your own life.

Where have you used your Responsibility Courage?

What’s one decision you made that changed the direction of your life?
