OUR MISSION
WHAT WE PURSUE
EDUCATION Seek to expand educational opportunities for women through new networks and connections.
ENCOURAGE LIFE-LONG LEARNING Teaching a skill which can be applied in another area with further development encourages self-learning and life long development.
COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT Educate women who will contribute to the empowerment of their communities.
INCLUSION/DIVERSITY Working with women from all backgrounds.
TELL VISUAL STORIES Visual storytelling is a therapeutic form providing tools for self expression, healing and further interpersonal growth and development through self-reflection.
DIVERSITY OF VISIONS Provide a multiplicity of visual voices in the media and arts, and contribute to the visual archive of our time.
Our vision is empowered women creating and sharing their own stories about their lives.
