About the Collective of Phenomenal Women

Goal:

Implement a civic leadership collective and peer health advocate training program for women of color as economic empowerment prevention strategy.

Design:

The Collective of Phenomenal Women has six foundational elements:

• Women of Color (WOC) Space– holding space for woc to bring their whole selves and know they will be honored, valued and respected, and that together we will grow, learn and fight for justice 
• Leadership Development – We will deepen our skills and knowledge of grassroots feminist leadership and organizing, collective economic development, and civic engagement through on-going training and action planning
• Healing Practice – Integrating healing practice throughout the collective is critical to our transformation as members in order for us to have strong grounded leadership within our community
• Monthly Meetings – We will meet monthly to build on the knowledge, connections and passions that we identified in the launch retreat to implement our vision for change
• Retreats– We will meet at least twice a year to strengthen relationships and provide members with the opportunity to reflect on pass accomplishments and imagine and change for the future strategies
• Civic and Economic Engagement Projects/Campaigns – We will facilitate a collective community projects and/or campaigns that emerge from the life experiences and the learning of the group
