There’s no better time then now to expose the truth and bring this topic out for discussion. It’s time we heal this wound. Join us on Saturday April 30th at 9am PST, 11am CST, 12pm EST. The event will be a safe place for all of us to join in on the topic of the wounded mother. To know we are not alone. And most importantly to receive tips and strategies on how to overcome.

Jennifer Ramirez is an entrepreneur, published author, and Keynote speaker. As a single mother who struggled to make ends meet, her hardships became her motivation to have a better life. Making many drastic changes in her life which has since led to great success, she felt compelled to share her own story in hopes that her past mistakes and struggles would help women to make better choices in their lives and empower them to be the best versions of themselves. In her last year of college, she was working full time, raising her daughter, and creating the &Rise Nonprofit Organization, Jennifer is proof that with the right influence anything is possible. She began putting female empowerment events together in October 2018 and continues to collaborate with different women throughout the Chicago-land area. The understanding of struggles single mothers face on a daily basis is part of her motivation for providing financial assistance to those who aspire to continue their college education as well as helping women who need an extra helping hand. Jennifer is also a sexual abuse survivor which has motivated her to begin "support circles" where women come together to talk about their trauma, start the healing process, and help other women who may be enduring similar struggles. She hopes to touch women all around the world with this organization and change their lives for the better! https://www.womenrisechicago.org/
