From Personal Struggle to Collective Empowerment

Founded by Shawntan Howell, Transforming Positivity into Power is more than just an organization – it is a lifeline born from personal resilience and a commitment to women’s empowerment. For years, Shawntan stayed hidden, battling the lies told by the trauma and imposter syndrome she experienced. Her work initially focused on girls, serving as a blueprint for what healing, well-being and empowerment could look like for women within a community.

The Journey of Healing and Empowerment

Shawntan knew she wasn’t alone in her struggles. Women everywhere experience a disconnect, losing the power they once felt as little girls who believed they could do anything. Recognizing a widespread need for reconnection and revival, Shawntan envisioned a platform that would address these issues head-on, especially in the challenging times following the pandemic.

Our Guiding Post

We recognize that health extends beyond the physical; it is deeply influenced by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age. Our programs are designed to positively impact these social determinants of health by providing inclusive, empowering, and transformative experiences that enhance both individual and community well-being. Through targeted initiatives that address areas such as education, social cohesion, economic stability, and environmental health, we strive to create opportunities for everyone to reach their full health potential, regardless of their social circumstances.

WTF Experiences

Our group experiences, known as WTF (Wisdom, Truth, and Fortitude) are designed to help women navigate the impact of life’s “WTF moments”—like the pandemic—and find balance and community in our new normal. These experiences are a call to action for women to reunite, breathe, connect, and even dance together, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth.
