Yes, it's been a rough couple of years. Of course, most of us have struggled with health issues of some sort. Why not use this year to discover how you can unleash the healing power of your genes? It's easier now than ever to avoid, arrest and reverse common but distressing chronic health and weight conditions (that make you more vulnerable to viral infections.) In this workshop, you'll learn: 1) Learn why people in the "Blue-Zones" live healthier the longest and how you can too. 2) How does one gene predict how you handle stress and how can you reduce yours! 3) Do you have the "guts" to heal? Why it's imperative to optimize your microbiome for better digestion, immunity, and a sense of well-being.

The pandemic continues to set back the gains of women so we need to fully re-examine what it takes to be a male ally and really champion gender equity. As resilient and resourceful as women may be, the fight against sexist systems is that much stronger when all genders get involved. But how?

Welch, Divisional Vice President, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Saks OFF 5TH, Greg Fullum, Design Manager at Laurel Road, Mike Simonton, Head of US and Canada Corporates at Fitch Ratings, Inc. and Daniel De Boulay, Divisional Manager, Worldwide Acquisitions at Sony to hear: what they've done, where they've struggled, how they're holding other men (and all genders) accountable, moments they've leveraged, what they've learned and everything in between!

You’ve worked hard for your money and now it’s time for your money to work for you. You will never earn or budget your way into real wealth. Growing your money significantly doesn’t require starting with a lot of money. It requires a little bit of knowledge about taking smart risks and as much time as possible to take advantage of the glorious power of compound interest, which Einstein refers to as the eighth wonder of the world. Join us for a fireside chat with Cate Luzio, Founder & CEO of Luminary and New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch and renowned money expert, Nicole Lapin whose new book, Miss Independent makes investing accessible and fun so women can make bank and become Miss Independent. From automating your savings to easy, no-stress investing strategies, Nicole will teach you how to take your financial knowledge and portfolio to the next level and start you on your journey to your ultimate destination: true financial independence.

Money is power. Money gives you choices. It gives you options. And it helps you to reach your goals. You don’t want to give away your power. You don’t want to give away your options. And you don’t want to give away your control. So where do you start? Having simple conversations can unlock a well of potential and demystify the topic. Join us for a virtual Money Date with Kathy Entwistle for an open conversation about your money, as well as your goals, your values, your priorities, and what you want to accomplish in life.

And how can we support Black women from our seat at the table?
