Restitching the American Dream for Women | January Donovan’s Story

In the second episode of Restitch America, host Alma Ohene-Opare sits down with January Donovan, founder and CEO of The Woman School, to explore her extraordinary journey from immigrant to educator, mother, and visionary leader.

January shares how her move from the slums in the Philippines to the United States shaped her understanding of identity, resilience, and purpose — and how her personal story inspired a mission to help women reclaim their worth in a culture that often undervalues them.

Together, Alma and January reflect on the deeper meaning of restitching America — through education, community, and faith. They discuss how empowering women to lead whole, integrated lives strengthens families, uplifts communities, and ultimately helps mend the moral and cultural fabric of a divided nation.
