Women’s Day 2026
March 8th
UNTAMED
Our StoryEmpowerment Collective is a community driven organization focused on creating accessible, inclusive spaces where people can connect, learn, and feel supported. We center our work on civic engagement, creative expression, and collective care, with a strong emphasis on welcoming people who may feel left out of traditional advocacy or community spaces.
We create events like this because connection is powerful. When people gather with intention, shared values, and room for joy, real impact follows. Our work blends education, art, conversation, and community building in ways that feel human, grounding, and approachable.
Our guiding values are collaboration, transparency, accessibility, and care. We believe meaningful change happens when communities are informed, supported, and empowered to show up as themselves. This event, and every project we create, is rooted in that belief.
The theme for Empowerment Collective's Women’s Day 2026 is Untamed.
This theme is about reclaiming softness without shrinking, strength without hardening, and joy without apology. Untamed honors the parts of ourselves that refuse to be contained, simplified, or made more palatable for others. It is about movement, growth, and choosing to take up space as we are, not as we are expected to be. In a time when so many women are exhausted, constrained, or asked to be less, Untamed is a reminder that our wholeness, our complexity, and our presence fucking matters.
