The Women’s Empowerment Expo

Although we can’t meet physically we’ve worked hard to come together virtually. We have created space for personal development/ business development workshops, vendors, motivational speakers and networking! Join us this Saturday for the first ever virtual expo! Here’s a recap of our last event in Camarillo, CA #theweexpo @sillypandamedia

Sexual assault in the United States armed forces is an ongoing issue which has received extensive media coverage in the past several years. At least 32% of U.S. military women report having been sexually assaulted, and up to 80% have been sexually harassed. Vanessa Guillen is a 20- year-old Soldier stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. She was last seen on April 22 at 1p.m. in the parking lot of her Regimental Engineer Squadron Headquarters on Fort Hood. She is of Hispanic descent, ...five feet, two inches tall, 126 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Vanessa was last seen wearing a black shirt, light purple leggings and black Nike tennis shoes. Vanessa has the tattoo of a cross with a flower on her left arm, another flower also on the left arm, and a mountain with a circle on her upper left shoulder. She has a small mole between her lower mouth, and her chin. My name is Vanessa Guillen. I knew I wanted to join the US Army to proudly serve my country as soon as I graduated from high school. I loved the US Army until I got to Fort Hood. I disappeared from Fort Hood, Texas on April 22, 2020. Three weeks before I disappeared, my mom asked me why I seemed different. My mom knows me better than anyone else. She noticed I had become withdrawn and that I wasn’t able to sleep like I used to. I finally told my mom that I was being sexually harassed by one of my sergeants on Fort Hood. My mom tried tried to convince me to give her the name of the person who was harassing me, but I didn’t want to get in trouble. My mom told me that she would report it for me, but I told her that I knew of other female soldiers that had reported sexual harassment and that the US Army didn’t believe them. I told my mom how the same sergeant that sexually harassed me would follow me whenever I would run and exercise and how uncomfortable it made me feel. My mom told me she would put a stop to it, but I told her I would take care of it myself. I felt I could put a stop to it myself. All I had to do was do something, say something. I was ready to take care of it. Help us fight for justice. Sign the petition in the link in our bio! #theweexpo

Whether you’re trying to change how someone sees you or treats you, or trying to change a family members or friend’s bad habit, you can only do so much and you need to know when to walk away. We’re human. We care about others and, unfortunately all too often, we care about our egos. The most important and realistic question you could ask yourself is this: To what end and at what cost? When will you decide you’re wasting too much time feeding your ego and seeking validation?... It may take you a while to figure out where to draw the line, but it’s important that you do. If your energy feels depleted and you feel like you’ve done all you could and you’re exhausted, then it’s time to take a break. If you’ve done your research, listed the facts, and behaved respectfully, then it’s time to walk away. One of the most valuable lessons in life is realizing that you cannot change others, you can only lead them to change themselves. #theweexpo
