She4She 2020: Stronger Together

This past January, our Heading Home community gathered together in celebration and appreciation of the passionate, strong, change-making women in our community. We all were an integral piece of this powerful evening; together, we reflected on what it means to be a part of a community.

Boston City Councilor Annissa Essaibi-George shared the crucial moment in her teaching career that has been her motivation as she works to end family homelessness in Boston. Her authentic passion reminded us of the importance of embracing our femininity, connecting with our passions, and grounding ourselves in our communities.

Shirell, a Heading Home client, reflected on lessons she’s learned from difficult experiences in her life and finding her purpose. “Being raised by my community has allowed me to see the needs and give back in a way that services the families and individuals like me,” said Shirell, “Sharing my story has encouraged me to continue advocating for myself and others…[My purpose is to] help other women understand that self-care is more important than caring for others. Without loving ourselves, we are unable to love each other in a healthy and positive way”.
