Testimonial

“I’ve since learned that pushing myself to have confidence in my capabilities is where the magic lies.”

– ANGELA TEWALT

“I am so grateful for my experience with EmBe’s Women’s Leadership Program. I went into it with gusto, not only looking forward to building new relationships with strong women in the community, but also the opportunity to discover my best self. That being said, I was not prepared for just how meaningful that exploration would be! It’s been an incredible journey. I was nearly uncomfortable at times analyzing my strengths, but I’ve since learned that pushing myself to have confidence in my capabilities is where the magic lies. Why wouldn’t I have conviction in my talents? Why shouldn’t I be proud of my ideas? I know this now because of the program and have grown a genuine interest in the opportunities that are surely abound in this community. EmBe’s Women’s Leadership Program is only the beginning, and I look forward to giving back to an organization and group of women who have renewed within me a sense of self and an overall awareness of what’s possible. What a joyful experience!”
