“Our Stories Reflect the Sky” is truly a community-led report. We could not have done it without the tremendous support we received from individuals and organizations across the state. Thank you to all of those who played a role in making this report possible.

Most of all, thank you to the individuals who shared their stories. Although not named, this is a report by them and for them. For all of the women across Oklahoma who resonate with their experiences, yet still continue to dream and advocate for a better tomorrow for us all.

Special thanks to:
