PROGRAMS

Making HERstory

In honor of Women’s History Month—and in full expression of the Women’s Journey Foundation mission—we present a powerful, multi-generational educational experience through our signature program Making HERstory Making HERstory is more than a production—it is a living tribute to the women who shaped America. Through dynamic dramatic performances, actors embody influential women who defied stereotypes, shattered barriers, and transformed history. Their voices rise from the stage as we celebrate not only the trailblazers of the past, but the women of today who carry that same courage into leadership, business, education, science, the arts, and beyond. History becomes personal. Legacy becomes visible. Inspiration becomes contagious. Our programs create a transformational experience where generations connect, history empowers, and girls learn that when they understand the courage of the women who came before them, they begin to recognize their own potential to rise.
