RUNNING WITH WOLVES
Within every woman, there is a powerful force of passion, intuition, and wisdom. Over time, during our pursuit of accolades, achievements, and status, it can be easy to lose sight of that power. As a result, we may feel anxious, unfulfilled, and even depressed. As women, how do we reground, reconnect, and regain confidence in ourselves? How can we live in alignment with our true selves in a fast-paced, pressure-filled world and society?
Tianna’s wellness journey began in college when she learned to overcome stress, anxiety, and burnout through intentional self-care practices and exploring her personal narrative. Over the years, she has supported countless women in their journey to self-confidence and empowerment.
Utilizing her expertise in mental health, psychology, and wellness, Tianna equips women with strategies for amplifying their voices and cultivating confidence in conversations, relationships, and moments of decision-making. Inspired by the “wild woman” archetype in psychology, or “the woman who runs with wolves,” Tianna empowers women to feel confident and aligned in mind, body, and soul.
Shirley Chisholm: Catalyst for Change
Speaker: Professor Jane McElligott
Host: Tammy Chiong, Assessment Manager Friday, March 8, 1:00 pm EST
Join PG Professor Jane McElligott as she examines Shirley Chisholm’s life, from schoolteacher to Presidential candidate, and celebrate the powerful impact she has had on future generations of changemakers. Shirley Chisholm was the first Black woman to be elected to Congress in 1968 and went on to be the first Black woman to run for President. “Fighting Shirley,” as she was known, was an amazing coalition-builder who truly had guts – she realized that the only way to effectuate meaningful change was through activism and by being a trailblazer, paving the way for other women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and indigenous peoples to follow her path to take on leadership roles in the government.
