WHO BELONGS HERE

IMMIGRANT WOMEN
  • Feeling like outsiders at meetings because of your accent, skin color, education, class, race or ethnicity
  • Sharing a deep hunger to making a difference in the world but not sure where to start 
  • Yearning for something more - more life clarity, more significance, more meaningful work or second act
  • Searching for a diverse tribe of women who accept you for who you are and celebrate each other's differences

You are NOT alone.
You have found a new community.

"Porcia you are an inspiration and voice to so many without voices or are scared to talk. Weather its because they feel scared to talk, or feel supressed, or not that important or irrelevant....you bring reason and hope to those people as you did with me. Reason to be better and more stronger and active. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that. I was honored."
