Founder's Message
When I was growing up, I had no voice. Later, as a teacher of young girls, I found myself urging them to speak up, express themselves, shout and sing. Sometimes I was successful; too often, I was not.
    We can't live our dreams until we can name them. Despite decades of progress, too many women are still silent -- victims of oppression, discrimination and their own fears.
    For me, Nokomis is about creating a world where women can sing. In helping them discover their voices, I am finding my own.
--Twink Frey, Founder and President
