  • Sister to Sister: Women’s Empowerment Brunch

    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!
