The Women's Empowerment Brunch: Melanin Edition
Advertisement
Charlotte and surrounding areas!!! SAVE THE DATE!!
On Saturday, August 15th, THE Baggage Exchange™ hosts its first Women's Empowerment Brunch: Melanin Edition. This Inaugural event centers melanated women, but all women are welcome and encouraged to attend. Expect great food, great music, real talk, and an inviting space where you can finally set down some of the baggage you've been carrying around and move forward lighter with Healing. Opportunity. Purpose. Empowerment (H.O.P.E.).
Here's the idea: We are all on a life journey. Therefore, we all carry baggage. Some, more heavier than others. At the brunch, you show up with your personal sized baggage--you know--the one that can fit nicely under your seat on a plane, and Dr. Shay Baker guides you through the process of trading what weighs you down for what lifts you up. You will emerge from the brunch enlightened, leave with real tools (The H.O.P.E. Bag) to commemorate your attendance and support your next steps, Your H.O.P.E. Passport with corresponding Brunch stamp to document your travels within your new community with us, and sooooo much more than a full belly. Through games, raffle drawings, laughter, and even some tears, we join together to support one another over an amazing brunch! You do not want to miss this event! See you there!
