OUR FOUNDER
I’m Jessica Motayne, the founder of EmpowerHer SA, and my journey has shaped everything I do. I was born to very young parents, and life didn’t always go as planned. I spent much of my childhood with my grandparents on the south side of San Antonio, learning early the value of perseverance and faith.
Like many women, I faced challenges as a young mother and navigated seasons that felt overwhelming. There were times I doubted myself, felt unprepared, and questioned whether I could give my children the life I longed for them to have. But through every struggle, God was guiding me, teaching me strength, resilience, and hope.
Today, I’m proud of the life I’ve built and the lessons I carry with me. EmpowerHer SA exists to support women who are navigating their own journeys, helping them find strength, hope, and the courage to create a life beyond their circumstances.
All the glory belongs to Him.
