Thank you to @brownbagladee for including our co-founder in this DOPE panel with fellow women entrepreneurs this past weekend at @buffaloblackcaucus ! We talked about everything from mental health + therapy, accessing business credit, the ups and downs of scaling businesses and everything in between. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that Black-owned businesses can’t thrive here. We’re living proof that they can exceed beyond your expectations when you put that work in. If you missed it, you missed out! #entrepreneurship #WomenSupportingWomen #Buffalove #BlackExcellence #BlackOwned

An evening of honest dialogue on women’s health in midlife. Acclaimed gynecologist and scientist Dr. Kemi Doll helps forge a path to understanding, healing and empowerment. Buffalo women deserve real conversations about menopause. Join us for Menopause and the Buffalo Woman, an evening of community, connection and empowerment focused on midlife, menopause and whole-person wellness. For too long, menopause has been misunderstood, overlooked or treated like something women have to navigate alone. This event creates space for open conversation, shared understanding and practical insight for women in midlife and beyond. The evening will feature Dr. Kemi Doll - gynecologist, author and nationally recognized advocate for women’s health - in conversation with Buffalo Common Council Majority Leader Leah Halton-Pope. Together, they will explore menopause, health equity and the importance of ensuring women feel informed, supported and seen. Guests will also receive a complimentary copy of A Terrible Strength while supplies last. Come to be informed. Come to be encouraged. Come to be in community. Leave with greater clarity, deeper connection and practical tools to take charge of your health. Presented by Kaleida Health Golisano Children’s Hospital of Buffalo OBGYN Centers at Kensington and Niagara Street Erie County Commission on the Status of Women In Partnership With Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center Second Chapter Bookstore Registration is free but limited!
