This book is different because it is a collection of stories from highly successful women being real about their struggles, families, dreams and hopes. It is written to inspire the ordinary woman to become extraordinary. As the orchestrator of the project, Sarahlyn U. Argrow has shared a personal chapter out of her life that most women in her position would not share. She hopes to motivate and inspire women to rise above their circumstances and grab another woman's hand in the process. The book is also unique because of the women who wrote the short stories. The women have shared some of their trials and triumphs solely for the hope they will deliver and set free women throughout the world; they are receiving no monetary rewards. This collaborative effort is a tribute to the generous nature of women all over the world. Inspired by Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball, Sarahlyn instituted the AWWIN Top Ten Working Women of the Year Awards in 2006 at their Annual Gala & Silent Auction.

Chapter One

Testimonial

I was one of those women who wanted more and did not know how to go about it. That was until God brought Ms. Sarahlyn Argrow and A Working Woman In Need (AWWIN) into my life. Ms. Argrow has a vision to help single working women and the blessing AWWIN has been to me and my family has been a miracle in many ways.

A Working Woman In Need gave me encouragement and much needed support while helping me to increase my job skills. I learned how to speak in front of an audience, which I previously thought I could not do. I also learned a great deal of new terms through AWWIN's Vocabulary Increase Program and received strength from the instructors and Ms. Argrow. AWWIN provided everything I needed when I was attending the classes including childcare. Also, I did not have to miss work because the hours did not conflict with my work schedule. I bolstered my computer skills, business skills and professional skills while attending the AWWIN Professional Development training. After completing the development classes in 2002, I obtained employment with the Department of Juvenile Justice. Last year I received an anniversary certificate thanking me for 5 years of service with the State of Georgia!

There are only a few programs available to assist people who are short on funds. However, Ms. Argrow and AWWIN assisted me and my family again. During the holidays, the organization made sure my daughter received gifts. There were other times when I fell a little short in making it work on my own; I called Sarahlyn at the last minute and she would do what she could. For example, four years after completing the program, I got sick and had nowhere to turn. I thought I was no longer eligible for assistance. I was without lights for four days, lost all I had to eat, and was unable to afford my medicine. Somehow, Sarahlyn found out and helped me get back on my feet by providing me with food and by using some of her personal money. It is during times like those that I most appreciate Ms. Argrow's availability. She did get upset if I called her at the last minute, only because she says that is what AWWIN is here for to assist working women in need. She told me, "You are always a member; don't wait until the last minute, just pick up the phone."

Because there are so few programs to help working women, many give up and stay home and try to get public assistance. I can't say it enough: Sarahlyn is an angel God has assigned to help women like me and our families. And those she seeks to help us are great and caring people also. I will never forget the times Sarahlyn has helped me in so many ways. I hope everything she needs to make this Vision to go on be blessed 100% in every area. Sarahlyn, you do make a difference in other's lives. Keep doing what you are doing. -Henrietta Williams

Sarahlyn U. Argrow

In 2000, Sarahlyn U. Argrow turned her vision of assisting working, single women with children into a reality. She is the Founder and Chairman of the nonprofit organization, Assisting Working Women In Need, more commonly referred to as its acronym AWWIN, Inc. AWWIN, Inc. is a nonprofit organization designed to help single, working women and their children better their circumstances.

Sarahlyn's foresight and vision regarding the plight of single, working women have been central to the success of AWWIN, Inc. She is actively involved in the key management and strategic decisionmaking of AWWIN including, but not limited to, business operations, venue operations, administration, educational programming, development, infrastructure design and execution, grant budget, risk management, policy making, and public and community relations.

Sarahlyn plays a major role in the technical development of ancillary components such as AWWIN Professional Development, a computer skills, job readiness and job referral class. Under Sarahlyn's leadership, AWWIN's mission has been to deliver a full continuum of support services to single, working women and their children who are economically disadvantaged by providing an array of services that build self-reliance and foster personal, educational and professional achievement. As the founder of AWWIN, Inc., Sarahlyn also consults with other business owners and future business owners on the ABC's of starting a business, as well as the ABC's of who God created them to be. She has been very instrumental in assisting others in reaching their goals and tapping into the potential God placed inside of them.

Sarahlyn is one who dreams of the impossible and makes it happen. She looks at things and people, and sees opportunities for partnership with AWWIN. She recognizes that AWWIN involves more than the single, struggling mother but working women in general. Inspired by Oprah Winfrey's Legends Ball, Sarahlyn realized working women in the city of Savannah needed to be honored for all of their hard work and accomplishments. She incorporated the Savannah Top Ten Working Women of the Year Awards in 2006 at AWWIN's Annual Gala and Silent Auction. After two years of hosting the awards ceremony, Sarahlyn knew that it was bigger than Savannah. Therefore, it is now the AWWIN Top Ten Working Women of the Year Awards. The first recipient of the award outside of Savannah, was the 2008 Education Honoree, Ms. Charcia Nichols of Atlanta, Georgia. As of May 2010, The AWWIN Top Ten Working Women of the Year Awards will be held in both Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia. AWWIN's expansion continues with this inaugural book, The Secrets of the Woman in the Suit: Changing Lives, One Woman at a Time which features The AWWIN Top Ten Working Women of the Year Recipients.

Sarahlyn has been honored as one of the 2008 Savannah Technical Foundation Community Stars; the 2009 Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award Recipient of Savannah, Georgia; a WTOC Hometown Hero; and a WJCL Champion of Change. Additionally, Sarahlyn and AWWIN's positive mission have been featured in Savannah Morning News, South Magazine, Skirt Magazine, Savannah Herald, Savannah Tribune and other local news entities.

In addition to her passion for assisting the single, working woman, Sarahlyn is also interested in ways to slow down the rising rate of teenage pregnancy. She enjoys public speaking, motivating others and spending time with her family and friends. She is a member of...
