Today I thought I'd pull information directly from the Shimmer, Sparkle, Shine website and share some questions answered by the board. We have both men and woman serving on the board, we vary in age, we all have very different personalities, and all part of the SSS Project for different reasons. All these factors make us unique and bring varied talents and experiences to the SSS Project. I'm proud of the work that's been done in the past, but I'm especially proud of this current board for the work and time that has been put into our long term goals. Sparklers, we have some amazing things on the horizon and thank you again for supporting us along the way. - Michelle Nemnich

What does self-worth mean to you? To me self-worth means that who I am now, who I was in the past, and who I will become is not limited to imperfections. This doesn’t mean it will mean the same thing to me in a year, or even a month. My personal meaning of self-worth is always changing, which is something I try to emphasize in SSSP.
What is your favorite SSSP Key? Making Your Mark. I love hearing the girls come up with ways to use their talents to serve those around them. It is very enlightening to hear such sweet spirits get excited about ways they can help those around them.
What skill would you like to master? I would love to master sewing! I have always wanted to be able to sew my own clothes. I consider myself a fashionista, so being able to make my own clothes would be amazing!
What would be your ideal way to spend the weekend? Sleeping in, doing something crafty, and working on SSSP. All of those things being me the most peace in my life.
What is your favorite SSSP memory during your time on the board? The very first workshop back in 2012. It was amazing to see all of the girls in attendance and to realize the potential SSSP could have on a larger scale. Seeing all of the girls together in one room was one of those moments that literally took my breath away, and one I wish I could relive.

What does self-worth mean to you? Not beating myself up when I stumble and allowing myself to celebrate when I have a victory. It’s also coming to an understanding that my journey is not someone else journey. We are all unique as woman and what I have to give in this moment is enough.
What is your favorite SSSP Key? Without a doubt, Making Your Mark is my favorite key. I want every girl and young woman to know that she has a talent worth sharing. Some days what she has to offer may not seem as grand as the girl next to her, but it can be just as impactful.
What skill would you like to master? Personally I’d love to master the art of quilting. I’m a newbie and I’m scared to death every time I sit down to the sewing machine and think “what do I do next”. Now, as the “oldie” of this board I would love to fine tune my social media management skills. I manage “okay” and get done what needs to get done, but I’d really like to learn the ins and outs of successfully growing an online presence and feel confident with the skills needed to do so.
What would be your ideal way to spend the weekend? Two times a year I spend a 3 day weekend scrapbooking with my friends. We eat junk food, we laugh a lot, we reminisce about old photos and memories, sometimes we complain together, but most importantly we make new memories. These weekends reboot me. They give me an outlet to just get away from everyday expectations and focus on me.
What was the best compliment you’ve received? I’ve had people ask me how I always remain so positive. Ultimately I choose to believe in the good of others and I believe in forgiveness. Life is too short to focus on others shortcomings and linger in the past. Doing so can weigh heavy on the heart. If I focus on my life, my actions and what I can give to others I’m a much happier person.
What is your favorite SSSP memory during your time on the board? I’ll never forget the feeling I had when Ciara hosted her very first workshop. As Ciara’s mom, I couldn’t help but get choked up and think WOW…my kid is really doing this. I knew that day it was the beginning of something special and I was PROUD to be a part of it.
