By Wanda “Sistah Soldier” Petty, President & CEO, SHE VET, iNC.
We’re changing our name to suit our mission. As of December 2, 2019, you’ll begin seeing the transition. Our name is no longer “The National Resource Society for Women Veterans” but “SHE Society for Women Veterans.” Over the years we’ve served combined over 3,675 women veterans, servicemembers, and their families with global resources helping them with the transition. During the process, we’ve discovered the freedom of artistry and its ability to heal. For someone who has experienced silence, couldn’t voice their opinion without being penalized, or having an extremely structured career, finding their voice in the word is critical for them to thrive in new communities.
Discovering the freedom of expression acts as the ability to breathe life in the lungs of someone whose life experiences have collapsed their dreams. So, we’re not only going to have fun with it, but we believe if we provide access to inner joy, it will reflect enough light on the outside and shine on others.
As you know, transitioning is not the most straightforward task, and the integration process can feel overwhelming. It’s easy to become lost in the process and lose confidence in one’s ability to achieve. However, if we focus on creativeness it can provide space for new things to emerge. That’s where the “arts” come in. Using our creative abilities offers opportunities to communicate, relieve tension, and become acquainted with others in unique ways.
Our mission is to train with a purpose! The pursuit of happiness is why we are focusing solely on project management, technology, and media. Military personnel, military families, and spouses travel tremendously. Although seeing the world is terrific, it’s strenuous maintaining employability. SHE Society for Women Veterans prepares them for employment or entrepreneurship stability during the complete process.
