WE
Women's Empowerment Organization

By our very human nature we become the people we are by continually doing the things we do. Ordinary people with extraordinary faith, given a vision from God these two sisters, Druennette Lewis & Jazmine Dow, responded to a seed planted within them to begin the Women’s Empowerment Organization (WE). You see these two sisters are products of a single family home, two out of six siblings Druennette and Jazmine were raised in Houston, TX, Independent Heights a low-income area in Houston by their mother Esther Bernard. As they grew older, and the lack of experience of life set in, they began to become overwhelmed with the not knowing, not knowing how to budget, not knowing how to be healthy, not knowing how to give love, not knowing how to be loved, not knowing their self- worth, or how to give themselves standards or boundaries and this list goes on. In addition, as they began to reflect on the pain and agony of lacking these foundational things that are very well needed to create the makeup of a well-rounded woman.


They also began to wonder how many other women have suffered the same strongholds, and have just not been able to break free. In the year 2009, they found out that there were several; using their WE organization, Druennette and Jazmine began hosting monthly seminars that were geared towards inspiring and empowering the lives of other women between the ages of 11 and up. These workshops were lead by highly trained individuals that would come in and share with women the tools needed to accomplish and gain power and control in the areas of family, finance, relationships (business/personal), health and a number of other topics that were used to give women a since of purpose and direction with the necessary tools to help guide them in life.

Through the WE organization these sisters have touched well over 300 lives, by giving families money for school clothes, feeding the homeless, and pouring into the lives of each woman that has attended one of their 12 workshops. That, in turn, has inspired entrepreneurs of all industries to step out on faith and begin their business. This was all achieved in the year 2009 and they are diligently moving forward in pursuing their purpose to continue to inspire and impact women in and throughout their community in the year 2010!
