Let’s build strength together—because empowered women empower women!
Vision:
To create a vibrant, inclusive community where women with disabilities come together to celebrate identity, build lasting friendships, and empower one another to live boldly, authentically, and independently.
Purpose:
This group exists to provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming space for women with disabilities aged 21 and older to connect socially, share experiences, and grow in confidence and self-advocacy. Rooted in the values of Independence Now, we aim to foster personal empowerment, leadership, and independence through fun, friendship, and meaningful conversation. By coming together each month, we create a space where every woman’s voice is valued, and where disability is not a barrier, but a source of strength.
Connection. Confidence. Community.
