History

Based on the book, Women Like Us:  Real Stories and Strategies for Living Your Best Life, by Linda Rendleman, an inspirational tea and speaker series was created by Linda and Dr. Sally Brown Bassett to expand on the theme of the common threads which run through women’s lives.  “Our stories are singular, but our passions are shared.”After the initial success, the Women Like Us Foundation was created to inspire and empower women and under-served girls to make a difference globally and locally.

Mission: Women Like Us Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspire, empower and mentor women and girls to make a difference globally and locally.

Goals: Our mission is accomplished in a number of ways, including implementing Women Like Us Afternoon Tea and Speakers Series, raising funds for sustainable global projects, supporting women to start their own WLU Chapters, offering short-term humanitarian trips, and through a mentoring program for women and girls.
