OUR ORGANIZATION
"Becoming a part of the one percent..."
"Writing and publishing one's story is a powerful act of empowerment, yet the vast majority of people who dream of doing so, never take the step to make it a reality. According to Strides, over 80% of Americans express a desire to write a book, but less than 1% actually follow through and publish. This stark difference underscores the importance of not just dreaming, but acting on the desire to share one's unique experiences and voice with the world.
Writing your story is not only impactful for readers but also offers profound personal benefits to the author. Research has shown that expressive writing can improve mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatice Medicine, found that individuals who engaged in regular, reflective writing reported lower blood pressure and stronger immune function. Writing helps people process complex emotions, promotes self-discovery, and fosters a sense of accomplishment and control over their narrative.
By turning the intention to write into action, individuals can unlock these significant health benefits and contribute to a legacy that inspires and empowers others. Sharing personal stories has the power to connect, heal, and motivate change, making the pursuit of writing not just a personal milestone but a meaningful contribution to collective growth."

"Literacy is a cornerstone of college readiness, playing a critical role in a student's ability to succeed in higher education. Strong reading and writing skills are essential for comprehending complex texts, engaging in analytical discussions, and producing well-crafted academic papers. Unfortunately, many prospective college students face significant challenges in this area. According to recent data, approximately 40% of students who take the ACT do not meet the college readiness benchmark for English and reading, which indicates they may struggle with the rigorous demands of college-level work. Similarly, over 50% of students score below 600 on SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section, a key metric that colleges use to asses literacy skills.
These statistics contribute to lower admission rates, as colleges and universities often require competitive ACT and SAT scores as part of their application process. Students who fail to demonstrate proficient literacy skills are at a disadvantage, reducing their chances of being admitted into their desired programs and institutions. Addressing literacy gaps through early intervention robust reading programs, and targeted support can help increase college admission rates and ensure students are better prepared for the academic challenges ahead."

"A strong literacy foundation matters."
"Literacy is fundamental to a student's academic success and future opportunities, forming the bedrock upon which all learning is built Foundational reading comprehension and writing skills acquired in elementary and middle school are essential for critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication. Without a strong literacy foundation, students face significant challenges in all areas of study, impacting their overall educational trajectory.
Statistics reveal the urgency of addressing literacy at an early age. According t0 the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), only 35% of 4th graders and 34% of 8th graders in the USA are proficient in reading. This means nearly two-thirds of students in these critical learning stages are performing below proficiency, risking long-term academic struggles. Failure to establish these vital skills early contributes to lower pass rates, diminished confidence, and reduced readiness for the rigors of high school and beyond.
She Inspires, Inc. serves as the leading educational resource that prioritizes comprehensive literacy programs that foster strong reading and writing abilities from the earliest years of school. We empower our students with the tools they need for future success, closing achievement gaps and opening pathways for lifelong learning and growth."

MEET OUR CEO & FOUNDER
Weiner M. Crumbly is no stranger to the literary scene and has championed several anthology projects, leading women to embrace the title of bestselling author. As an Author Coach and Publisher she encourages women to write their empowering story, one chapter at a time. Her program has prolven to be impactful as some of her co-authors then move forward to become bestselling authors of their own published work. Subsequently, each author develops greater confidence in her abilities, transforms her thinking and embraces the myriad of possibilities ahead.
Weiner's passion for learning came at an early age while in school in the UK, where she was born and raised. Her parents instilled the importance of education and literacy from a young age. Her love for science would later bring her to the USA where she would study Medical Laboratory Science (formerly called Medical Technology) and enjoy a career spanning over 34 years in Laboratory Science, As an avid reader and 'STEM kid', she knows the importance of reading and writing and remembers journaling her childhood dreams of becoming a scientist. Weiner would often request chemistry sets and stethoscopes for her Christmas gifts as a child and would have fun acting out her role as a scientist and doctor. These memories ignited her passion to inspire other children and youth to dream BIGGER, write down their dreams and intentionally run after them.
It's no secret that Weiner is a champion for literacy in all age groups; she is committed to amplifying the voices of those who are typically not heard. With this in mind, She Inspires, Inc. was created to be the beacon of hope for under served and disadvantaged women and youth who desire for their voice to be heard, their gifts and talents to be shared and their dreams to become a reality.
