Sister to Sister: Women’s Empowerment Brunch
Let’s connect with each other and share our stories of triumph over adversity!
Black women are often referred to as “the canary in the coalmine”: What does that mean? and what steps are being or could be taken—locally and nationally—to correct course?
Brunch will be served, and a panel of four amazing women—including Cathy McGill and Sonya Bellafant (Executive Director of New Mexico Legal Aid)—will share their thoughts about moving through these times. Plus, Kristin Carmichael & Estella Swain will present on their housing stability project, as they wrap up the planning phase of this important initiative.
This gathering is about connection, empowerment, and action. Register now, as only a few seats remain! We hope to see you there!

Freedom Hair movie screening
New Mexico is one of only three states that requires braiders to get a full-service cosmetology license (1,200 hours of training!), forcing braiders to waste time and money learning how to use chemicals and dyes, which are practices they do not engage in and outright reject.
Freedom Hair is a film about one woman’s journey to change a different set of laws targeting braiders, ones preventing Natural Hair Stylists from owning a company. (Movie trailer HERE.)Learn how you can get involved in changing our state’s laws, sign the petition, and meet folks! Snacks provided.
