By SayPro Chief Operations Officer- Clifford Legodi
Good [morning/afternoon], SayPro colleagues, partners, and esteemed guests.
Today, we pause from our daily operations to honor a role that is both foundational and transformative — the role of a mother.
At SayPro, we are in the business of empowering individuals and building communities. In many ways, mothers are the original community builders — nurturing, teaching, supporting, and leading, often all at once and with little recognition. They are the quiet architects of strong families, and by extension, strong societies.
This day is not just about flowers and greetings — it’s a moment to deeply reflect on the power of care, consistency, and compassion. Whether biological, adoptive, step, or spiritual — mothers and mother figures embody the very values we strive to uphold at SayPro: resilience, empathy, service, and hope.
To the mothers within our organization — thank you. Thank you for bringing your whole selves to work. For managing dual responsibilities with grace. For showing leadership not just in boardrooms, but also in your homes, in your communities, and in the hearts of your children.
To those who honor the memory of mothers no longer with us, we stand with you in gratitude and remembrance. And to those who long to become mothers or who support others in that journey — we see you, and we hold space for you too.
Let us commit today to fostering a workplace and a world where mothers are not only supported, but celebrated. Let us ensure they are not expected to choose between ambition and affection, between leadership and love.
Because when we uplift mothers, we uplift humanity.
Happy Mother’s Day, from all of us at SayPro.
Thank you.
