We are always pleased to welcome back Yaminah Muhammad, Director of Esoke Cultural Arts! African dance and drumming are vital to Black culture because it serves as a medium for communication, spiritual connection, history and survival.

We are grateful to have Jamie Johnson, Statewide Coalition Director from People not Politicians join us to help navigate these crazy political waters!

Beyond the Ballot: Women & Civic Power

We are living in critical times when decisions about voting rights, healthcare, public education, economic opportunity, and the future of our democracy are further shaping our communities. Black women’s voices and votes have always been essential, but our capacity for civic power extends far beyond Election Day. This interactive workshop explores how women can use voting, advocacy, organizing, coalition building, and leadership to influence decisions and create change. Participants will identify their civic strengths and leave with a practical next step for getting more engaged.

Are you on the sidelines? Join us - we need EVERYONE in the game!

I don't know about you, but I am a serial entrepreneur in my head. I have a business plan for a shoe store, a roller rink, a restaurant and an ice cream shoppe!

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from Dr. Crystal Turner, CEO of Covenant Consulting and the owner of Kaye's Learning Corner, a highly sought after daycare center located in the urban core.

Dr. Turner's workshop "From Idea to Reality" is an interactive workshop designed to help women transform their ideas into clear, actionable plans. Using the Covenant Consulting framework, participants will learn how to clarify their vision, identify their target audience, establish the necessary business foundation, and develop practical steps toward ex*****on.

And the best part, participants will leave with an Idea-to-Reality Action Plan!

Got an idea? Let Dr. Turner help you go from that IDEA to REALITY! We hope to see you on Saturday! Here's the registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1999382877007?aff=oddtdtcreator

Introducing Rev. Dr. Delesslyn Kennebrew as our kickoff speaker to bring our morning inspiration. If you've ever attended a BWGF, you know this time together sets the tone for the morning!

Most ANY time someone's name starts with Rev AND Dr. you know they are a big deal. In Rev. Dr. Kennebrew's case, that is an understatement.

In addition to her day job as Administrative Secretary for the National Convocation, where she helps to ensure that the issues, priorities, and concerns of all who make up the black constituency are addressed, she is also an
avid writer and shares her reflections online in Call It Forth! at https://www.drdakennebrew.com. She is the author of two books, Step Out of the Boat: An Invitation to Walk on Water and The Power to be PERFECT: A Collection of Reflections on Spiritual Perfection.

I also learned that on the first 3 days of every month, we can join her at 3:00 AM for early morning prayer live on Facebook! I'm going for it next week... Oct 1, 2nd & 3rd

See her live and in person at the 9th Annual Black Women Get Fit. You don't want to miss what I'm sure will be a powerful & prophetic word! Here's the link to register:
