women supporting women Archives - Tina Powell (She/Her)

Sunday, June 7, 2026 will forever hold a special place in my heart. Not only did I share Naomi Ruth Lowinsky’s motherline concept as Guest Speaker at the Joyful Journey Tea, I awarded the very first Louise Jane Beckett Shifra Homes Scholarship in honour of the maternal grandmother I never met.

Shifra Homes Executive Director Nancy Romic (L) and Tina Powell award the Louise Jane Beckett Shifra Homes Scholarship to 2026 recipient Patricia Lamontagne!

If only Shifra Homes had been available to my grandmother. My motherline would have been loved, supported and strengthened.

Thank you Shifra Homes, Marjorie Steele and Nancy Romic for all the work you do to support young moms. Congratulations to Patricia Lamontagne! Best of luck in Nursing School!!!

I am immensely honoured and grateful to be nominated for the 2026 Women Empowerment Awards! Presented By ROGERS, the Women Empowerment Awards celebrate women who are driving change in business, leadership, mentorship, community building, and more. I have been nominated in the Mentorship Award category. This award recognizes mentors that go above and beyond, empowering other women to accomplish their goals and fostering the next generation of leaders. Such an incredible recognition! Most exciting to me, however, is the fact the recipient receives a feature interview on Empowered with Elizabeth, a national TV show hosted by Elizabeth Naumovski, to further amplify her mission!

Thank you to my nominator, my reference providers, to the Women Empowerment Awards, to Rogers, and to all those who have mentored me over the years. If you know someone worthy of a nomination, visit https://www.woea.ca/awards and nominate them today!

As Klaudia Zinaty, CEO & Founder of the Women Empowerment Awards, reminds us: “When one woman rises, she creates space for many more to rise with her.”
