3/11/25- Hapeville, GA. Board Directors Waleisah & Tabatha speak and show their films at Women on The Rise's Women's History Month Event. (Photo Credit: Women on the Rise)
As guests at Women on the Rise's monthly membership meeting to honor Women's History Month, both Waleisah & Tabatha shared their testimony and how they moved from pain to power and how their pain and passion for the work they do as activists and nonprofit leaders motivated them to produce short documentaries that allowed them to express their advocacy through the arts. Members and attendees also heard from Reentry Arts Connection who shared ways to tell your own story and make your voice heard through the arts.
Tabatha is the founder of Woman With a Plan, a Georgia nonprofit that support women in recovery and those who have returned home from incarceration. Waleisah is the founder of this nonprofit, an entrepreneur and the chapter lead for All of Us or None GA where their current campaign is to amend GA's constitutional law that still legalizes the enslavement of people convicted of a crime. Both women created their films as a part of their roles as ambassadors with Represent Justice, a national organization that supports the advocacy of formerly incarcerated people by funding their needs to amplify their advocacy and activism through the arts.
You can watch both films on YouTube:
- Waleisah Wilson - Menefee's "Working in Captivity: A Woman’s Quest to End Slavery in Georgia"
- Tabatha Trammell's "Mama I’m Different: Living with Mental Illness"
