Rashida Bowens –  Project Empower[ment] has done more than just empower me. Coming to this class helps me to connect with my inner self, it takes me to a place of peace. I would recommend this program to any and all women. This class has also helped me learn about empowering myself giving me tips and ideas on how to empower myself and others. There are common views shared from personal and religious angles. I enjoy coming to this class.

LaTasha Baker – Project Empower has been most helpful for me at this time because, it seems, they were here at a mandatory time in my life where I needed help identifying some important facts of life: where I should be or what direction I should be headed in. I appreciate these two women of power. I hope for continuous growth for Project Empower.

Christa Pizzo –  Project Empowerment has helped me in so many ways in just so little time. In the sessions we have experienced how to calm ourselves in stressful situations. Breathing techniques, music, calming rhythms and labyrinths. We have such a resourceful and comfortable atmosphere were we can get down and out our true inner problems. In my 24 years of living, I haven’t been so inclined to discovering the root of what’s “really” going on. I think having a program such as this one—friendships, learning, self awareness can really begin to happen unlike any other class I have ever taken. Joy and Mary Kay have been so kind and inspirational and my experience here at Wilson has meant something even more because of them. Thank you for all the time and I pray God will bring you both back here again.

Veronica – This group has been very helpful in letting me express more of my feelings without anger, to hold things in and become less stressful.

Sylvia Reynolds – I feel the empowerment group is a great group. I love the meditation, it really clears my mind. Also we can talk among ourselves and not argue. We can learn a lot from each other.

Erica Pratt – Project Empower has really helped me to identify a lot of different things within myself each week. I am also learning something new within myself. I enjoy having this group every week because it is a wonderful feeling and I am very spiritually lifted and blessed.

Renee Lovall – For my personal recovery I find this group to very helpful and inspiring. We touch on life skills and how to handle situations in an appropriate manner. We do spiritual meditation that sets a certain peacefulness and tone for my day. I look forward to Joy coming in and the guests that she brings along. I have realized that I have a natural energy and power to center myself in good space and can also influence others around me. I do practice these skills I have obtained from Project Empower on a daily basis and believe it is effective in our community and for my recovery. I would like to continue my work in Project Empower for my own personal benefit.
