A Message from Our Founder & CEO
Dear Friends,
Welcome to September.
There comes a time in every journey when healing must begin to make room for movement. We cannot change what has happened to us, but we can decide that our past will not have the final word over our future.
This month, I want to encourage you to walk boldly in your purpose.
Perhaps you have spent years doubting yourself. Perhaps trauma, rejection, disappointment, abuse, or the words of others caused you to question your worth and silence parts of who you are. Perhaps you have been waiting until you feel completely ready before taking your next step.
But purpose does not require perfection.
Sometimes courage simply looks like taking the next step while trusting God with what you cannot yet see.
Joshua 1:9 reminds us:
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
At Inspired Women Foundation, we believe that healing is not only about recovering from what happened to you. It is also about rediscovering who you are, recognising the strength within you, and believing that your life still carries meaning and purpose.
So this September, give yourself permission to move forward.
Apply for the opportunity. Start the course.
Develop the idea. Ask for help.
Establish the boundary. Use your voice.
Return to the dream you abandoned.
Take the small step that you have been afraid to take.
You do not need to see the whole journey before taking the next step.
And as we prepare to gather women this September through our EmpowerHer work, my hope is that we will continue building a community where women do not merely survive difficult experiences, but are supported to heal, rebuild, grow, and thrive.
Your past may be part of your story.
But it does not have to become the limit of your future.
This month, walk with courage. Walk with faith. Walk knowing that you are valuable, your voice matters, and there is still purpose ahead of you.
Walk boldly in your purpose.
With hope and every blessing,
Deborah Kipasa
