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
