“We’re gonna talk about this concept: The hand that rocks the cradle rules the nation,” said Tate-Ujania to an intimate gathering of a dozen women.

This proverb, according to Tate-Ujania, the Clinical Director for the Northwest Orientation of Voluntary Alternatives (NOVA), is used to “explain how we function and who we think we are, and therefore how we are in the world and how we shape that world.”

The whole point of her workshop was to help women better understand themselves and why they function the way they do. She provided a packet to supplement her presentation which addressed the Dependency Deprivation Theory she uses in her line of work. Also inside the packet was a list of “50 Ways to Care for Yourself” which the group read aloud.

“When you don’t get what you need as a child there’s a part of you that never grows,” Jae said. So, she emphasized the importance of “finding solutions.”

“It’s amazing,” said Kelley Duhain, assistant at the Cultural Awareness Center. “I never thought I could be my own parent. I really think her workshop expresses you’re bred to feel like you need take care of others [as women] but you can’t take care of others until you take care of yourself, and her workshop starts from the ground up.”
