Empowerment Day | Tuesday, Sept. 28

The National Urban League comes together with the urgent purpose to execute the most ambitious agenda in our history. The twin pandemics of COVID and structural inequity, police brutality, and the fight to see justice for its victims, the most virulent attacks on voting rights since Reconstruction – these and other challenges have awakened a new spirit of advocacy from the grassroots to the corporate suite. We dedicate Opening Day to galvanizing our movement and our allies into a powerful force for empowerment.

It’s long overdue, but there is much greater attention paid today to black women’s health. We have a broader understanding of the unique burdens and barriers that impact the lives of black women and girls – whether social, political, or cultural. And while activists work to address systemic health disparities, increasingly black women are embracing self-care. Vagesty, is a growing women’s health product retailer, run by a nurse practitioner committed to educating women and girls about their bodies and living healthier lifestyles . Join this essential and informative workshop for Black women looking to live strong and endure!
