They truly are Women of Courage...
Each story highlighted the grace and patience of the women, their vulnerability… their dignity and resiliency. They truly are Women of Courage and a role model for future generations.
Munira
It was exciting yet terrifying at the same time to think that I could contribute to an art exhibition (...) but I was extremely grateful because the program helped with healing from psychological trauma - racial trauma, and to reclaim, restore and recapture pieces of ME.

Women of Courage Project was THERAPEUTIC; I was able to express my longing, my sadness, my homesickness, and my struggles turning it into my artistic expression.
Arelene
This project is leading me towards a brighter and positive outlook and future by taking me on the beautiful journeys of a group of courageous and strong women, and my own personal journey.
