I love all the progress the Women’s movement has made, but the part that has touched me the most is women that stand together in solidarity to pull each other up. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be close to achieving ALL the things I have done thus far without supportive women mentoring me. April 28th through April 29th you have the chance to take part in a career-changing experience designed to inspire, cultivate, and position rising women of color for leadership roles in the business, philanthropy, and professional sectors. Check out the details below.
