BY PAUL JUNOR

There is no doubt that the non-profit organization Empower Her 101 has played an essential role in the lives of women since its inception in 2016.

It was founded by Tamesha Mitchell, who was motivated to help young women gain financial independence through mentoring, networking, coaching and self-development.

According to its website www.empowerHer101.com, “We are a group committed to personal development through mindfulness. We recognize that

there are areas that are particularly important for our success in our business and our careers. Our coaching program is specially designed and is geared to get females taking the reins of their lives.”

Tamesha has distinguished herself as an award-winning entrepreneur, full-time educator, career coach and mentor. In many ways the mission of the organization is multi-faceted and diverse. Their website states, “We are committed to help prepare females for their future careers whether as business owners, players in the corporate world or as skilled workers. We do this by creating a supportive network with valuable experience. Our volunteers and members have the opportunity to work from home completing different types of tasks and connecting the team through the use of technology or by becoming involved in the planning of one of our events.”

The different events that have been hosted by the organization has been beneficial to many young females. Their volunteer and mentoring program is geared to high school girls. Many of these students have been able to earn their forty hours of community service which is a graduation requirement for Ontario students. The program uses financial literacy as a basis to teach business skills self-development and leadership competencies.

The benefits to women and girls are numerous. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has posed many challenges, it has not stop the organization from fulfilling its purpose. The website states, “We host our own live and online events. We are passionate about helping females to pursue their mindfulness so that they can experience ongoing personal growth. ‘Females’ new to our circle get first-hand experience about what it takes to run a business and advance their career while being involved in planning an event surrounded by qualified professionals.”

Tamesha has been recognized for her leadership role with respect to female empowerment. Cleoni Crawford states on LinkedIn, “Working with Tamesha was such a joy. She brings out the best in you by making sure you understand your strengths and use them while completing tasks.”
