Words have power Empowerment Group

Women are built to connect…Its how we learn, it’s how we grow.

When women come together at, I Am Not My Body, we provide a safe space for women to listen and talk. We get to know each other, not on a superficial level but on a personal level. There is something special about forming new relationships 95% of women agree that groups have helped them to feel more confident. 100% of women feel empowered. 89% of women feel they are not alone they feel safe.

At I Am Not My Body our groups meet once a month for 3 hours. You are probably wondering, what happens in our meetings. Our groups are structured women are provided with the topic of discussion and tailored questions in advance this way women know what to expect and know what is expected of them. We also have meet and greet where we introduce our selves over a light snack. Reading of minutes from our last group, personal updates and discussions.

What are some of our discussions?

Discussions vary from career, entrepreneurship, love, family, work-life balance, parenting, empty nest, elderly parents, life, death, health, wellness and self-love. For some of us it is about the:

  • Chance to socialize with other professionals.

  • Opportunity for women to share and seek advice.

  • Food.

  • Comfort of knowing you are not alone.

  • Reminders of good people.

  • Community service projects, volunteering, and outreach trainings to make a positive impact in their own communities.

  • Educational initiatives, scholarships, or supporting educational opportunities for women and girls.

  • Recreational activities for women and families’ cultural events, art contests.

  • Health and wellness to learn more about the upcoming health fairs, mental health support or discussion on women’s health issues.

  • Need for meaningful connections.

“For me, when I attended my first women group It was a little intimidating to be in a room with executives, business owner and here I was a letter carrier. By the time the meet and greet was over I was able to connect with several executives fr my company. As time went on, I realize that being a part of empowerment group was the best investment I made for my career. I have gain so much knowledge from being a part of empowerment groups. It has taught me the art of listening. It has helped me over come my fear of public speaking. The women in the group encourage me to follow my dream and I am here today to tell you that it will be the best 3 hours you can give yourself.
