Our Work

WHAT WE DO

We travel to meet transformative women in communities around the world whose actions have inspired us.

First- We experience women’s day-to-day environments (work, school, home, spiritual centers,etc.) to see life through their lens.

Second- We connect and collaborate with women through engaging conversations around the complexities of what it means to be a woman and the roles they take on in society.

Third- We provide active engagements of mind-body exercises, nutrition education, meditation, breathwork, and self-defense that gives women the opportunity to release, integrate and transform their experiences.

Fourth- We provide space for women to share their experiences, wisdom and life lessons that have allowed them to overcome obstacles and become leaders in their families and community.

Fifth- We share the stories of women through film to a global audience to inspire the women of tomorrow.

STORIES

Our focus is to inspire women and elevate them from their challenges in everyday life. Sharing personal stories of success is an act of self-empowerment that builds hope and inspires others to overcome fears and lack of confidence. It has the potential to inspire those who have forgotten to believe in themselves.
