Michigan Women Veterans Empowerment is a 501c3 tax deductible faith based non-profit organization that seeks to empower women veterans to find their voice and provide a platform for them to speak. This anthology book project "Our Voices United" will provide an opportunity for women veterans from all branches of service and across the nation to speak their story and their truth. To many times as women veterans we feel our voices are not heard or considered significant. Now is the time to unify our selves for women veterans make up 1% of the US population and the world wants to hear from us.
The Goal & Intended Audience:
To encourage women veterans to find their voice and speak boldly and courageously
will bringing awareness to the public the life experiences of women veterans.
The Vision:
To collaborate with fellow women veterans who will be co-authors that will
share their story through their literary work.
The Concept:
The visionary and lead author, Sgt. Stephanie Shannon, wrote her first book "Battling the Storm Within" which helped her find her voice and provided a platform for her to continue to bring awareness
and speak her truth to the world. This book will be used as a historical platform for women
veterans of all branches and across the nation to open up and share their military experience in
order to liberate themselves. Specifically, she’d like each co-author to share their success and challenging
stories and poems on how their life was prior to military, during military service and after.
What will the reader learn?
After completing this book, the reader will gain an understanding of women veterans life experiences, bring awareness to the many issues women veterans experience, learn how to support women veterans, become a part of the woman veteran movement to empower women veterans.
What’s in it for women veterans?
Sgt. Stephanie J. Shannon wants to empower you to speak boldly to the world your story your truth which is totally inspirational. As a woman veteran, you make up 1% of the US population and you have achieved what most will never know and understand so that is a compelling and unique story about your military experience in it's self. Each woman veteran story will be different and that's what makes us so great and unique and as sisters in Arms that is why we need to support, empower and inspire each other. Collectively our stories/experiences will illustrate a clear picture of what life in the military for a woman really looks like, and it'll bring insight, empathy and support from others.
Aside from being able to fuel your passion to impact women globally, this collaboration will help you gain more exposure for your business, brand and can increase awareness of your mission. For some of you, it will help to build your platform as a speaker or introduce you as a new author to the world.
