YWCA Princeton’s Post

🌎 Today, as proud women of the Métis, Tuscarora, Mohawk, and Algonquin Nations, we honor #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay by taking a moment to slow down, connect with family, and reflect. It’s a day to remember, gather, listen, and learn. We are doing this by reading Honourable Murray Sinclair's profound new book, Who Are We: Four Questions for a Life and a Nation. Through these four questions—Where do I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Who am I?—Sinclair invites readers to seek personal identity and collective understanding through equally eloquent and complex stories. ✴️ His words echo a painful and empowering truth, reminding us that honoring our past is essential to shaping a better future. As we read, we are reminded of why we created Indigenous Philanthropy Advisors is so crucial: 1️⃣ Understanding Our History: Sinclair urges us to recognize the significance of our histories as individuals and nations. It’s a call to remember where we come from. 2️⃣ Celebrating Resilience: Despite the laws and policies that have attempted to silence us, Indigenous communities endure. We are the embodiment of resilience—a strength that is central to our identity and our future. Indigenous Philanthropy Advisors understand this is a part of our foundation, and we also know resilience combined with calm waters is unstoppable. 3️⃣ Committing to Action: He emphasizes engaging with the 94 Calls to Action. Meaningful change requires not just words but commitment and action. This is at the heart of our work with partners who seek to foster genuine, lasting relationships with Indigenous communities. 4️⃣ Building a Shared Future: Sinclair’s message resonates with our purpose—cultivating a future that honors our past while embracing our shared humanity. Together, we can create pathways to a world where Indigenous voices are heard and lead the way. Let’s honor this day by reflecting, learning, and building a shared future rooted in respect and understanding. 💫 nyá:wę maarsii The Honorable Murray Sinclair Niigaanwewidam Sinclair Shelagh Rogers Nicole McDonald & Wanda Brascoupe

Gratitude fills my heart as I reflect on my journey with The Command Purpose Foundation. Being part of this incredible organization has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I'm thrilled to be back this year, continuing to serve alongside inspiring individuals. If you're a female veteran in transition or seeking your command purpose, look no further. Join us on this empowering journey! #CommandPurpose #FemaleVeterans #Empowerment"

I am where I am today, because other women shared their knowledge and expertise freely. There's nothing more inspiring that women supporting women, because we know it's not a competition. There's room for us all to be successful. I carry a piece of each female mentor with me. Jenny Amory, taught me to negotiate prices and leverage nonprofit discounts. Kathryn A. (Katie) Wheeler taught me how to preserve authors' voices while editing. Katie Bayerl taught me how to apply a DBIE lens to my writing. Namrata Patel taught me to invest in my teams' present and futures and to make safe space for mistakes. Beth Bryant taught me how to refine my data analysis and projections. Laurie Heller taught me how to design within brand standards. Cassidy Leighton taught me so much about email accessibility. Tasha Booker M.ED taught me how to navigate the politics of organizations and leadership. To find myself now at the Trustees, surrounded by this talented sisterhood, is such a blessing.

Happy Women’s History Month! Let us celebrate how far we have come while maintaining our laser focus on how far we have to go. This year’s theme celebrates women who advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. 💪From inside your own home to your workplace to your neighborhood to your local government. 📢Advocate everywhere and lift the voices of others, speak up for those who can’t or whose voices are so often trampled on. Be the change this world needs. With conviction. “It takes courage for women to advocate for practical goals like equity, diversity and inclusion when established forces aim to misinterpret, exploit or discredit them. Throughout 2024, we honor local women from the past and present who have taken the lead to show the importance of change and to establish firmer safeguards, practices and legislation reflecting these values. Following decades of discrimination, we are proud to celebrate women who work for basic inclusion, equality and fairness.” https://lnkd.in/g_C_8EVZ
