About Us
HER-Story/Our Founder & President-Lisa L. Dent, B.S in Community Heath and Sociology & M.S. Health Education/Health Services
WHAT I KNOW:
Every woman and girl deserve and is entitled to be...heard, safe, respected and valued. Unfortunately, these fundamental Rights, across the global landscape aren't practiced 100%. It's time the dialogue was changed, and actions/behaviors increase to demand appropriate treatment of us.
WHY I CREATED THIS ORGANIZATION
As my journey changed, I wanted to be part of an organization that helped women & girls globally, take ownership of their lives through education, health, advocacy, economic development and environmental conservation. This (fantasy) organization would value and embody global stewardship, create an environment where women & girls could learn about positive health/wellness modalities, learn & embrace the reality of creating and running a business, while being a supportive community and providing various education opportunities & experiences for girls to learn early about being an active engaged and intellectual good global citizen.
I had a vision of this organization being the "well of strength" for women as they redefine their VOICE & life choices.
I envisioned an organization equipping our girls with a "life tool kit" to cultivate their power, skills & talents and use them for good. I envisioned an organization that values and respects each woman's and girl's journey without judgment while assisting in identifying each persons' gifts/talents....and elevating them. Needless to say, I hadn't found such an organization that embodied or resembled all that I had envisioned.
THEREFORE, I DECIDED TO BUILD IT!!
We represent ALL women & girls particularly those in marginalized communities
The Women's Empowerment Series, Inc. is a 501(c)3-Nonprofit Organization with the ability to delivery a series of customized services where needed. We assist women and girls to organically tap into their VOICE and be unapologetic as they stand in their truth & POWER. All programs and services are created by women for women and girls. I strongly believe your environment sets the tone for your experience. Therefore, your surroundings will be beautiful with each and every engagement you have with us.....because you're worth it! We will encourage you not to be afraid. We will educate you, encourage you, motivate you and celebrate with you! Empowering women and girls is what we do....EVERYDAY.
All my Jesuit education, lessons and experiences (both positive and not so much) have led me to this mindful reflection and Call to Action. Words that are the cornerstone of my life, "To whom much is given, much is required."
Therefore, our Board of Directors, Staff/Volunteers & myself are honored to be of Service.
We look forward to being a part of YOUR journey. Lisa Namaste.
