You are invited to join us for our final Women’s Leadership Alliance Meetup of the year. This meetup is for like-minded individuals passionate about creating a more holistic healthcare experience for all people, with a particular focus on Black women. It will serve as a space to discuss and envision the creation of a health and wellness ecosystem that connects Black female health, outdoor, and wellness entrepreneurs not only to each other but also to Black women seeking alternative healthcare practices and a health-conscious circle of women.
