This permanent issue will be updated monthly to share Women's Empowerment news and add in your responses to this phrase, "An Aboriginal Woman that inspires me is ______ because______." The intent is to honour and celebrate the diversity, resilience and talent of women - beginning with Aboriginal women - who make up the fabric of our community. Let's create a free on-line resource of our own. Host a gathering, share a letter of support, come to a meeting, and contribute NOW to empowering women to learn about and use technology to share their voice.
