Unspoken Conversations: Empowering Women Through Real Talk
About this Event
UNSEEN. UNHEARD. UNSPOKEN.
It’s time to change that.
Unspoken Conversations is a monthly empowerment series created for women to openly discuss the topics that are often left unsaid — from body image and mental wellness to online safety, college preparation, and creative expression.
🎙 August 2026 Featured Session
As the designated National Hair Loss Awareness Month, August 1 to August 31, this annual observance helps raise awareness, reduce stigma around hair thinning and hair loss, educate the public on normal shedding versus excessive loss, and highlight medical, genetic, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to hair loss.
In recognition of this important awareness month, Ladies in the Family Foundation invites you to an educational online session:
