When Women Speak, is a platform for women from ALL backgrounds and experiences. It provides the stage for female poets, artists and creatives. Voices are heard, sometimes found, but ALWAYS encouraged to SPEAK their truths. WHEN WOMEN SPEAK hosts a variety of women with diverse voices - unapologetically. We are here to create an empowerment movement, offering safe spaces for women to grow themselves, share, and empower others. We as women know, empowering women offers the change the world needs. We are a primal force - When Women Speak. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/601eb47cf17bd8180805901d/t/602af49ab341c828b3bf17a3/1613427873491/IMG_967A106199C6-1.jpeg When Women Speak
