Why Attend?
By purchasing a ticket, you’re directly supporting the This Girl Can Impact Initiative, which serves a group that is too often overlooked,women who earn too much to qualify for government assistance but still struggle with financial insecurity, mental health challenges, and the weight of daily survival.
Many middle-class women are battling depression, domestic violence, food insecurity, and financial instability in silence. Without access to the support systems available to lower-income individuals, they are left to navigate these challenges alone often leading to severe consequences like homelessness, losing custody of their children, or even premature death. When a matriarch is lost, whether emotionally or physically the entire family structure suffers, especially the children who depend on her.
Your contribution helps bridge this gap by funding mental health support, essential resources, and community programs designed to uplift and empower women in crisis. Together, we are providing a safety net for those who need it most, ensuring no woman has to fight this battle alone.

Strong Women Advancing Against Turmoil Society
Life’s challenges can break us down but they don’t have to define us. Strong Women Advancing Against Turmoil Society (SWAAT) was created to stand in that gap, offering women not just support, but a true sisterhood. Founded by Shenise Rawlings, SWAAT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to empower women who are navigating hardship, trauma, or depression. We believe in meeting women where they are with compassion, with education, and with a reminder that no storm lasts forever. Depression is not weakness. It’s a reality that steals joy, energy, and hope, and it often goes unseen. Left unaddressed, its impact extends beyond women to children, families, and communities. That’s why SWAAT exists: to break the silence, offer safe spaces, and equip women with the tools to heal and thrive. Here, your glass is never empty, it’s refillable. Through connection, education, and outreach, we remind every woman that her story is not over, and her strength is greater than she knows.
