In 2018, seven women connected by shared life experiences and careers had the desire to empower women and formed the No Ordinary Woman 2.0 Foundation.  It is with this union and belief in writing a vision and making it plain, No Ordinary Woman 2.0 Foundation officially became a 501c3 entity in 2019. The founders are Tina E. Roberts (President), Joycelyn Austin (Vice President), Monique Andrews (Treasurer), Zanetta DeVane (Secretary), Inger Kelly, Cynthia Womack, and Franceen Grimstead (Board Members).

 

What is a No Ordinary Woman?

Ask any of its members “What is a No Ordinary Woman?’ and you will receive a resounding voice of solidarity a No Ordinary Woman is a: Cancer or Domestic Violence Survivor; Active Duty, Retired, or Disable Veteran; A single, Stay at Home or Career mom, Entrepreneur or a Wife. She is a voice that needs to be heard and a story that needs to be shared.

Our Philosophy

We believe women anywhere who are in crisis, disadvantaged, or in need are “the why” of our existence. 

No Ordinary Woman 2.0 Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the lives of ordinary women as well as being committed to continuous education of its members to gain knowledge of being an effective non-profit and businesswoman. The members attend conferences, workshops, trainings, and partner with other non-profits.  Some of our continuous education includes training with Micro Nonprofit Network, “Circle of 99 Global Business Summit and Domestic Violence training with the Samaritan House.
