Summary of Request:

The 2022 National Women’s History Theme
“Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope”
The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history.
Women as healers harken back to ancient times. Healing is the personal experience of transcending suffering and transforming it to wholeness. The gift of hope spreads light to the lives of others and reflects a belief in the unlimited possibilities of this and future generations. Together, healing and hope are essential fuels for our dreams and our recovery.
This year, in particular, we are reminded of the importance of healers and caregivers who are helping to promote and sustain hope for the future. The NWHA encourages communities throughout the country to honor local women who bring and have historically brought these priceless gifts to their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods, sometimes at great sacrifice. These are the women who, as counselors and clerics, artists and teachers, doctors, nurses, mothers, and grandmothers listen, ease suffering, restore dignity, and make decisions for our general as well as our personal welfare.
Women have long advocated for compassionate treatments and new directions in public health and in women’s mental and physical health. Women have also historically led the way in mending divisions, healing wounds, and finding peaceful solutions. This timeless work, in so many ways and in addition to so many other tasks, has helped countless individuals in our communities recover and follow their dreams.
The 2022 theme proudly honors those who, in both public and private life, provide healing and promote hope for the betterment of all.

Shirley Matilton Feather - Native American Entrepreneur
I am a base enrollee to the Yurok Tribe, a mother, wife, educator, and entrepreneur. I began my journey in the hair industry in 1993, licensed as of 1996. I became a technical educator in 2015, a salon owner of the first Native American owned salon in 2016- Feathers Hair Artistry. Took the proceeds, diversifying funds and became the first Native American distributor for Iridium Professionals, opening Feathers Barber & Beauty Supply. In 2020 in the height of the pandemic I launched our product line Feathers Hair Care. I have used every ounce of career to give back positively to the communities I live in. Most importantly I try to live everyday in a way that my Ancestors and children can be proud of me. Being right isn’t more important than being kind.
