Join us as we dive into the world of Black women leaders and shatter those glass cliffs together at Still Whole!
About this Event

Designed for Black women navigating leadership and transition, this workshop explores the concept of the ‘glass cliff’ and its emotional, professional, and personal implications. Through dialogue, guided reflection, practical tools, and restorative movement, participants will reconnect to themselves, build community, and leave grounded in leadership that honors wholeness and the ancestral power of Black womanhood.

Still Whole explores the concept of the glass cliff—the phenomenon in which women, particularly Black women, are elevated to leadership during times of crisis and expected to carry heightened responsibility with limited support, leaving them vulnerable to risk.

This experience offers space to slow down, remain present, and reconnect with what sustains, grounding participants in a strategic leadership practice rooted in the enduring wisdom of Black womanhood.
