On July 24, GHCC and AHC Baltimore held the first Women’s Empowerment Conference. While the targeted audience was young adult women between the ages of 18 and 35, the event quickly evolved to include elders. Keynote speaker Dr. Pamela Love, challenged the women to confront life challenges with the help of each other and emphasized that seeking support is not a sign of weakness.
Other speakers, local leaders, and residents participated in sessions on money management, co-parenting, self-esteem, and domestic violence. There were 27 women in attendance and 18 children. The response was extremely positive and already there are inquiries regarding the next conference.
Special thanks to Dallas Nicholas Sr. Elementary School for hosting the conference, all of the businesses that provided in-kind support, and the numerous volunteers who helped make this event happen!
