About Us – Basic | Empowa Community
Many of us love nothing more than sitting around with a group of friends and over a glass or red solving the problems of the world.  And the more wine, the more satisfied we are with our solutions.  It’s easy to talk.
Until one day we moved from talk to action.
Inspired by a woman, who didn’t just moan, who didn’t just cry, and did just talk.  She acted.  When she died we knew the earth and the people and its creatures had lost their greatest friend and warrior.
Anita Roddick died and everyone who knew her, who had heard of her, who had been touched by her knew that big shoes had to be filled.
And so on the day of Anita’s memorial service a group of us decided to move from talk to action.  Our glass is still filled with wine (a good pinot as Anita would have it), but our conversations are filled with action plans as well as dreams.  We join together to make a difference and to encourage other people to do so as well.
Anita’s death has inspired many others to do the same, in her honour and in recognition of her contribution to activism.
Six of us created an association EMPOWA community.  We support each others work, we advocate, we motivate, we raise money and awareness.  Its fun, its easy, its life changing.
Together we will carry forward Anita’s passion and compassion, faith in humanity, moral certitude, outrage and unstoppable energy.
Join us, with open hearts, and if you have the means, open wallets!  Enjoy and as our favourite Activist would say Get informed, get inspired, get outraged, get active.  Just do something.
PS:  EMPOWA Community are: Vickie Burkinshaw, Kerri Lambert, Bronwyn Little, Karen Morton, Kerry Robinson and Kim Watkins

"By far the best team I've ever worked with. They truly understood the look I was going for and completely nailed it! I would highly recommend them as a company, you simply just won't find any better team!"
− Greg Ross, ThemeNectar
"It was really fun getting to know the team during the project. They were all helpful in answering my questions and made me feel at ease. The design ended up being twice as good as I could've envisioned!"
− Jeff Gemmell, ThemeNectar
"I'm wondering why I never contacted these guys sooner! Seriously, they all have commendable talent in their respective fields and knocked my concept out of the ballpark. Thanks for an amazing experience!"
− Mark Levin, ThemeNectar
