Congratulations to our First Quarter 2025 Honoree Kiasha Henry
By Randi Heth, EOW intern
Kiasha Henry: A Legacy of Service, Strength and Community
A Familial Belief in Community
Kiasha Henry is a proud “townie.” Born and raised in Bloomington-Normal, Kiasha not only continues to live in her beloved hometown but works to make it a better place for the people of the community each and every day. And how could she not when the family members who came before her paved the way for her to become the service-driven, powerful woman she is today?
Special thanks to our partners who help sponsor the ExtraOrdinary Women Project: The Pantagraph, EOW Board of Directors, That’s What She Said, Fr. Patrick, St. Bede Abbey, Blue Skies Counseling, LLC, Brenda Baker, Kroger’s Flower Shop, Barb Carr, Norma Roberts, and anonymous donors.

The ExtraOrdinary Women Project (EOW) recognizes the immense potential women have to take their ordinary lived experiences and create extraordinary legacies. The EOW Project’s Vision is to bring women together in celebration and in sisterhood through sharing stories, providing mentorship, and creating space for collective inspiration.
All submissions will be reviewed quarterly and one ExtraOrdinary Woman honoree will be featured on our website and by our local media partners. Submitted nominations not chosen to be featured will be considered for a full year. All submissions are reviewed blindly with identifying information removed to retain an unbiased review.
Celebrating women. Sharing stories. Inspiring others.
