MEET THE CO-FOUNDERS
Dawn Morningstar was raised by three women who taught her to be kind, tenacious and self-empowered. Dawn is an award-winning author, master coach, podcast host, educator, TEDx Speaker (Oakland), former radio talk show host and devoted advocate for women’s self-empowerment. Since her book “Venerable Women: Transform Ourselves, Transform the World” was published in 2016, Dawn has spoken to groups of all sizes over 1,000 times.
​
After coaching women for 30 years, Dawn founded Venerable Women in 2013 and has most recently co-founded New World Women with Mecca Page and Shawn Vougeot. Both organizations teach women to be kind, tenacious and self-empowered! New World Women expands women’s consciousness and increases their prosperity using a very unique model.
​
One of Dawn’s great journeys to higher consciousness began in 2015 when she spent 21 days in the silence in India being taught by enlightened monks. She shares and teaches the philosophy that humans need not live in suffering, but rather in beautiful states of consciousness.
"Living in a beautiful state is possible through conscious awakening of the feminine principles of love, kindness, collaboration, inclusion and compassion—which are present within each person." - Dawn Morningstar
Shawn Vougeot
Chief Executive Officer
As a plant-powered singer, songwriter, classical violinist, television producer, and videographer, Shawn Vougeot is geared up and ready to flip our current socio-economic paradigm on its head.
Having been raised by a single Mom who inspired her to become a creative, educated, empathetic, and self-sufficient woman, Shawn has trumpeted the message of the critical importance of women’s self-sufficiency for decades through her songwriting and performance.
From 2017-2020, she created and led Empowering Women, a women’s networking, education, and support group in the Twin Cities (Minnesota).
Now, in collaboration with the brilliance of co-creators Dawn Morningstar and Mecca Page, Shawn’s vision is unfolding even bigger in a tangible way through New World Women Academy ~ helping women achieve financial liberation through elevated consciousness and a supportive community, so we can all shine our most vibrant lights upon the world.
