WE at SHEROES United have really been on the move! You have probably seen us at events around the Utah and we have even made our way into California, Washington, Oregon, Asia, Africa and Canada as well. Our mission is to identify Women that have had to deal with an obstacle in their life, perhaps the death of a child, rape, domestic Violence, Illness, you name it we are hearing the stories. We want these women who have held these stories in silence and we want to hear their voices. We want to be the vehicle to help these women share their voices and perhaps help someone along the way.
We are teaming with several organizations to bring awareness to the issues we all face today. Not just Women. Men too! We are working with the Film Industry, Universities, Organizations from around the globe and we are on a mission to bring social awareness to the problems that we are facing and identify those that can help. Those that can share their voice, their experience and perhaps mentor others going through the same thing.
In the last few months we have been setting up the Organization as a non-profit 501c3. This will take up to a year. Community Foundation of Utah has generously stepped up to sponsor our organization until we can be accepted by the IRS and a non-profit.
This is the first blog of what I hope will be many. There is so much to tell and so much to do. At this point I am not even sure how this blog will work and if it will work, because I like many others am a self taught person. In other words I am learning this in hopes of helping create something to share with others.
SHEROES United is a Labor Of Love. We Beat With One Heart. We have so many programs in development you MUST stay around to hear about our successes.
We have teamed with KUED7 and pbs to create a place for Women to tell their stories and perhaps even be seen on TV in our year long Women & Girls LEAD initiative.
Our Board of Directors are extremely serious about this cause. You will see by their resume's that they are highly accomplished individuals many have gone through their own Extreme Journeys and have gone on to be very successful Women.
Please take a look at the website www.sheroesunited.org and tell us what you think. We are growing everyday. We want to hear your stories. We want to share your stories. We want to empower others to feel that this is a safe place and you have a support system in place so that you can feel comfortable knowing that others will learn from you. Please join us!
