Women, Words, and Wisdom:
Advancing the wellbeing of New Jersey women
Women's Interactive Education Academy™
Featuring Women, Words, and Wisdom’s Panel of Power Celebrating
Women and Scholarship Program
Women, Words, & Wisdom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.
Our Mission Statement
The purpose of Women, Words and Wisdom is twofold:
1. To inform women of current issues affecting them so they can make informed beneficial life choices
2. To provide scholarships to female college students in financial need to be used toward their college education
The gender wage gap persists, and women despite great progress only make on average 84 cents for every dollar a man makes.
It is less than that for Black, Hispanic, Native American & Asian Women.
Our Services

Women’s Empowerment Luncheon
Our annual Panel of Power Celebrates Women.
Ida B. Wells Annual Award
Ida B. Wells, born into slavery, defied expectations. She was a teacher and journalist, who also co-owned a Memphis newspaper. When a friend was lynched, Wells risked her life and brought light to the wrongs. Her bravery came at a cost - her office was vandalized. Unfazed, she became a national voice against lynching, even co-founding the NAACP. Decades before Rosa Parks, Wells too refused to give up her seat. Though not receiving a Pulitzer Prize in her time, her relentless pursuit of truth earned a special citation in 2020.
Each year Women, Words, and Wisdom honors a woman who displays the traits and character of Ida B. Wells.
