Woman Rising Strong

By Susan Schachterle

At Woman Rising we are committed to assisting women to remember and live from the power they carry naturally. Women are the wisdom carriers, the bridge builders (bringing together individuals, groups, even governments), and the nurturers. We are, among all the other things we can create/refine/Implement and complete, the glue that holds things together. We are the extraordinary multi-taskers of the universe, the ones who keep going when others fall apart.

But so many women all over the world have taken on false restrictions and limiting thinking laid on us even as little girls, unsupportive ideas about who we are and what we deserve and what we are capable of; negative perceptions that burden us and leave us doubting our own value and the power that is inherent in the feminine.

Our commitment is to offer ideas, stories, examples, and even events designed to help women remember or, in many cases, to help women explore for the first time the wide-open realm of possibilities available to women who have learned to trust, believe in, respect, and love themselves

There is a wonderful statement in the Shona language of Zimbabwe, a statement that expresses so well the purpose and commitment of Woman Rising. This profound statement applies to all women and is something we help women understand and live by, an idea and philosophy that can shape lives in remarkable ways. In Shona it’s “Tinogona”; in English, it translates as

YES, YOUR DREAMS ARE ACHIEVABLE

Every woman deserves the opportunity to create a path to the life she wants to live. At Woman Rising we want to provide ideas, insights, wisdom, and the confidence to follow that path.
