Why is Women Empowerment important?
Women Empowerment is fundamental to achieving a more equitable world in our future. Gender Equity is a universal human right. Power of One is passionate about being a part of this change.
We currently produce events to celebrate & honor women in our community, such as our annual Mother's Day Celebration.
MOTHER
Hi Mother,
You are resilient.
Sleepless nights through the seasons.
From pregnancy to cluster feeds
to toddler tantrums to angsty preteens
to worrying while they’re driving & out with friends
to worrying about them worrying about their kids.
Seasons of mountains of laundry and dishes
Half-drank coffee, half-eaten meals, and half-finished tasks.
Outstretched arms for both smiles & tears,
A listening ear for their hopes & their fears,
Through all these seasons, you remain constant.
Hi Mother,
You are expansive.
Motherhood takes all of you and then it takes even more.
But oh, what it gives back.
The way they smile at you in the morning.
The way you are their whole world &
the way you get to see the world through their eyes.
Those extra cuddles on sick days
The extra giggles on all the better days.
Whether you carried them inside you
Or chose to make them your own,
You are Mother.
Your body was what was first known.
Even when they’re far away and grown
you will always be their HOME.
Hi Mother,
You are Home.
