The Unifor Local 240 BIWOC Committee was proud to host ‘Wellness Together’ alongside Family Fuse. An event creating space for conversations about Black wellness from head to toe, including mental health, nutrition, fitness, education and so much more.
Congratulations to Taylor Francis-Grant, BIWOC Chairperson, for initiating the vision alongside Christie Nelson of Family Fuse, developing the plan, and bringing this amazing opportunity to our community.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this event in so many ways, from helping with promotion to contributing their time, energy, and resources. A special thank you to BIWOC Vice Chair Amna Elguraish for her support in promoting the event and helping make it a success as well as Clarese and Nicole from Family Fuse. Thank you to our Caboto members for their wonderful hospitality!🖤
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the Unifor National Equity Fund for selecting Local 240’s BIWOC submission and providing funding to make this event possible. We are equally grateful for the support of our Local 240 Executive Board and membership.
Thank you to our many guest speakers, including Unifor Employee and Family Assistance Program representative Yolanda Cornwall, for sharing her expertise, knowledge and resources. We also thank the vendors, community organizations and entertainers who brought so much to the afternoon, and everyone who joined us!
The event was a tremendous success and a powerful testament to Taylor and Amna’s commitment to bringing Black people in our community together to connect, learn, grow, and build together.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this opportunity possible. We look forward to continuing to create spaces that celebrate, empower, and strengthen equity in our community.
