Valeri Bocage, CEO of Powerful Women International Connections, and I met more than twelve years ago. She possessed the most positive spirit I had ever witnessed ~ even after losing everything in Hurricane Katrina. She transformed her loss into her first version of her organization. The inspired vision continued to expand and improve.
The August conference was the best I ever witnessed. All members hold the same spirit. They transformed their personal tragedies into a project of helping communities. Each person is committed to making a positive difference in our global society. Momentum increased as members connected with one another to share the details about their projects. Collaborative effort took hold to embolden their missions.
Perseverance
Our commonality is to try, try, and try again. We each refuse to give up. It isn’t in our nature. And when others have suggested we do, those remarks became the motivating factors to keep trying. Eventually the disasters turned into baby steps. We recently advanced to the stage of making large strides. Our persistence has us now positioned to clearly seeing a sprint in the near future!
The Company We Keep

Expanding Projects
Justina Page and her family are burn survivors. Once she moved past her agony, Justina recognized a strong need to assist others who face similar events. She has built a large community of support for other burn survivors. Justina is now seeking to build shelter for family members as they help their loved ones return to everyday life.
Carrie Nikitin
Carrie recognized a strong need to help reduce recidivism or helping ex-prisoners to stay out of prison for the remainder of their lives. This is a huge and expensive problem needing to be fixed. A program is developing to make this a reality.
