Since 1993 WOCLN has provided the following tools for women
of color in order that they may attain a high degree of self-sufficiency:
To foster self-awareness and personal development;
To apply leadership skills--communicate, organize, inspire, produce,
create, mediate, broker, inform, problem-solve;
To enhance personal qualities/traits: practicality, resourcefulness,
initiative, innovative, self-directed motivation
At the core of the WOCLN, there lies a fundamental belief that at
its best, leadership starts from the inside, out--meaning that women
who are internally stable are better positioned to positively affect
their external circumstances, and make appropriate choices for their
lives and the lives of others.
Through contact with the network women WOCLN becomes a place where
women are able to establish connections by interacting with other
women of color spanning generations as well as women in the surrounding
community.
...a place where you can learn as well as teach... from peers and
elders alike.
... a place where women of color are acknowledged for everything
they embody.
...a place for self-expression.
...a place where standards and expectations are set toward your
greatest potential.
...a place where we're looking for the best that you've got
...a place where your skills are continually redefined and shaped
to support you in reaching your highest potential.
...a place to find friendship and connection.
...a place that asks you to open your mind to new ideas, stretch
your limits, and contribute what you can and what you know.
