Can we all get on the same page and admit for a moment that Kate Spade is the queen? The company boasts that it "empowers women to transform their communities through trade-based initiatives" such as entrepreneurship, technology and the arts. And you thought it was just a hot pink handbag in a store that smells like rich people. In fact, Kate Spade offers grants with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty and motivating learners everywhere to boost their passion for entrepreneurship, film and other arts-based careers. I repeat, it is not just a purse. Take that, mom.

This company strives daily, motivating youths to pursue their dreams and work toward success and better conditions. How can you help? First, you must ask yourself if you are what every Kate Spade fan aspires to be.

Are you quick?

Are you quick because you're quick to judge others for their decisions?

Or are you quick to solve a crisis?

Are you witty with a comeback? Are you smart, and proactive in supporting your community?

Or would you rather race yourself to the couch for a midday nap?

“If one day the speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling.”
― Paul Walker

Are you curious?

Are you curious enough to desire life-long education? Do you find yourself wishing for more time to study and grow?

Or are you curious who your boyfriend's been texting this week?

Are you passionate enough to learn multiple languages and connect with the rest of the globe in need?

Or are you too busy worrying about your picture that only got 200 likes, today?

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

―Albert Einstein

Are you playful?

Are you playful because you travel with a purpose beyond the passport picture? Do you desperately hope to make a difference in the lives of those around you and grow more accepting of this world?

Or are you playful because your profile picture is a puppy dog Snapchat filter?

Are you active in your lifestyle, promoting health and vigor of the body? Do you appreciate the soreness you feel in the morning from a day well spent on hard work?

Or are you limiting yourself to drinking games and flirting with the guys who aren't capable of appreciating your willpower?

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”

―Mark Twain

Are you strong?

Are you strong enough to pack up your things and flourish where you're called? To rely solely on yourself for happiness?

Or are you looking for a partner to complete you?

Do you have the strength to turn the other cheek when challenged by your peers? To decide that what others think of you is none of your business?

Or does your strength come from your popularity?

"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and laughs without fear of the future."

―Proverbs 31:25

Kate Spade works hard to empower communities by empowering the women in it, not just to make them feel pretty. It's a far cry from $1 million in grant support, but you and I have the power to empower others daily. Act on the ideals you hope to attain, and the world will become a better place. Instead of posting minimalist/"chill vibes" posts on Instagram, get off your couch and place your hands into communities in need. They're waiting for you.
