HER VOICE

The Room Where Her Voice Changes Everything

On October 31, 2026, women will gather for HER VOICE 2026—a powerful, intimate and inspiring experience created to celebrate women who speak boldly, lead courageously, build opportunities and transform the world around them. This year, we ask one unforgettable question: “What happens when women are heard—and given the opportunity to lead?” Come for the stories, stay for the connections, and leave inspired to Speak. Lead. Build. Transform. With powerful conversations, women’s stories, leadership, entrepreneurship, mentorship, creativity and community, this is one room you will not want to hear about afterward—you will want to have been in it. October 31st. Wilder Auditorium. Her Voice 2026. Your seat is waiting.

What We Do

Our primary intent is to design, implement, and improve the educational resources available to disadvantaged East African communities in Minnesota. We believe education is empowerment, and to improve the lives of these individuals, access to such aids as tutorial support or after-school programs can make all the difference.
