## Caption

Monday motivation from Wilma Mankiller.

Wilma Mankiller was the first woman elected as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, serving from 1985 to 1995. She transformed her community through economic development, healthcare, and education while facing constant challenges and health struggles.
Her leadership philosophy was simple: persistence over perfection. When obstacles appeared, she didn’t quit. When critics doubted, she kept building. The secret wasn’t talent or resources, it was refusing to give up.
This November, we honor Native American Heritage Month, recognizing the contributions and resilience of Indigenous peoples. Leaders like Wilma Mankiller remind us that representation matters and persistent dedication to your community creates lasting change.
Never, never give up.
