We Rise in Power

Overview

Women of color are creating solutions and leading change at all levels. It's time they are heard, seen, supported, and amplified. How are you doing your part?

Our world is in dire need of more justice, equity, healing, and connection. Everywhere you turn, women of color are natural leaders and they are ready to amplify their voices and share solutions to incite real change. We Rise in Power: Amplifying Women of Color and Her Voices for Change brings historically excluded voices to the main stage, and makes “representation” the norm rather than an after-thought. Sharing rich, personal stories of challenge, resilience, and triumph, this book brings together a collective of diverse women from across North America who advocate for social change and offer pathways and strategies for transformative actions. Women of color are risk-takers and game-changers with unique answers for the deep-rooted issues our communities face. They are changing the face of leadership, influence, and power, and activating the shift toward upward growth that our society needs. From building personal strength to rallying large communities, we demand more than just a seat at the table. Women of color are creating new banquet halls that invite courageous actions and innovative solutions, and everyone is welcome as we build a new world vision.
