Womanist Ways | A Gathering of Black Women in Leadership
Womanist Ways: A Gathering of Black Women in Leadership is a 3-part series celebrating Black women’s unique ways of being, knowing, and leading. This series will emphasize key womanist concepts such as self-love, self-determination, as well as nourishment & self-care. In community, we will engage in the practice of sharing counternarratives, explore individual strengths and values, define personal self-care routines, and engage with thought leadership anchored in healing, leadership, and growth centering the experiences of Black women.
When We Gather Consulting is a pro-black, women-led organization dedicated to ensuring that Black women feel whole and powerful. When We Gather Consulting knows that healing of both self and community is possible and essential to leadership. They prioritize the needs, experiences, and ancestral knowledge of women of color because we acknowledge that we are inherently valuable and that our liberation is a necessary step toward the collective freedom of all. They offer leadership coaching, cohort based development programming, and community gatherings, in service of identity affirming and culturally sustaining organizational cultures.
