EmpoweRed WOMEN Walking in Wholeness

Nearly 21 years ago, on November 2, 2002, Pastor Vanda Moody Jacobs had a vision to continue the legacy of her dearly beloved mother, centurion, Ms. Mary L. Diggs, who transitioned at the wise age of 101.. The Legacy is now a reality through EmpoweRed Women Walking in Wholeness, Incorporated.

EWWiW, Inc., whose mission is to help women improve their positions in life and provide them a safe forum to address issues unique to women using various resources such as: Transitional Housing, Educational Workshops, Life Skills, Spiritual Guidance, and Personal & Professional Development opportunities.

This organization also collaborates with community partners to ensure they are able to wrap their arms around the whole woman in meeting her needs.

The event was held on Sunday April 30th. Elder Terry Parker Roe was the Mistress of Ceremony. Real estate guru, Ann Thompson, of Ann Thompson Realty, lovingly introduced Minister Vanda Jacobs.

Vanda is the silhouette of a Kappa man, Rochester Jacobs Sr., senior pastor of The Refreshing Church in Tampa. Vanda was born and raised in Tampa Bay. As the mother of 4 and grandmother of 12, Vanda’s maternal roots, and love of Tampa Bay runs deep. Her life experiences and daily struggles has evolved her to this profound position of ministry.
