About Powerful Women We are an inclusive group of women, we do not discriminate or segregate. All women are welcomed to attend the events whether you are gay, straight, bisexual, black, white, tan, old, young, red head, lopsided ears, balanced on one foot ... in other words, everyone is welcome. This is not a clique, there are no "leaders", I merely help facilitate events to create a space for great things to happen. My goal with Powerful Women is to create a community where we all feel comfortable, a place to find support in a safe and drama free setting, build meaningful friendships, and also work together to help empower other women through our Isabelle Outreach Projects. There is nothing in this world we can not do and collectively we will change the world around us. It starts right now, right here in Charleston, SC, and right now with you and me. Dakota
Becoming A Powerful Woman Erasing the Lines 16. Does not see dividing lines between people, instead sees opportunity to learn and grow through our differences. When I lived in Phoenix I surrounded myself with people who were much like myself - artistic, gay, into healthy eating, etc. I could count on about 4 fingers how many "straight" people I considered to be a friend. Upon moving here I found the community in which I was accustomed to in Phoenix was sparse in the southeast. Yet my desire for a community to feel safe and comfortable within did not cease to exist. A few years ago I formed what I called a "tribe" - a group of 7 women who I felt were incredibly powerful and connected. We each came from different backgrounds, had different beliefs. Some were married, some not. Some gay, some straight. Some in corporate jobs, some who owned their own business. The one common thing we each shared was the inability to see dividing lines between us, instead we came to know each other as a kindred spirit, or sister. When I started Powerful Women it was a way for me to connect to other like minded women, again. Although this time the motivation was and continues to be driven by my desire to connect to a community who has a rich and beautiful diversity. A diversity that allows us each to feel accepted and cherished for all those differences which make us unique. It is in that contrast that we allow our growth and learn the valuable gifts the world has to offer us. Read Full Story
