Matriarch Mixer with The Walter Hive

We are excited to announce our next Matriarch Mixer in collaboration with The Walter Hive.

Join us as we celebrate community and wellness!

"Research shows that creative expression has a positive impact on health and wellness for people of all ages and circumstances." - The Walter Hive

The Walter Hive provides programs that support creative expression for all ages and experience levels.

The Walter Hive facilities include:

• The Walter Dome: A makerspace with fabrication tools such as a wood shop, welding, laser cutter, 3D printer; tech such as arduinos, LEDs, and other programmable components; and a vast array of fine arts materials
• Walter Art Gallery: A welcoming space where attendees experience contemporary art and where the work of both up and coming and more established local artists is celebrated.
  

Meet and network with other professionals in a space that aims to uplift others in their work and acknowledge the achievements of matriarchs in their respective fields.

#MatriarchMixer is a networking experience that is made for Indigenous, Women-Owned Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs and Professionals. Our goal is to create an environment that fosters kinship, connection, and community building centering our innate knowledge and values. Matriarch Mixer is created by Indigenous Community Collaborative and co-hosted with fellow sisters and business owners Turquoise Devereaux - @indigenousskye Mikenzi Dupree - @stillshelives and Jillian Waln - Konekted Media and Katherine Jacobs 💕

The evening is about celebrating the brilliance of Matriarchs today while honoring the cultural and generational foundations that make this excellence possible.
