Friend --

Join us for our inaugural Friday Happy Hour hosted by The Sip, via livestream today from 5:00 pm. - 6:00 p.m ET.  

We think you would agree, Black women are the defenders of our home, community and country and are prepared to lead in the moment.  That’s why we have convened with four other preeminent Black women-lead national organizations to create compelling content to gather Black women online across the country to be informed, engaged, to take action and practice self care and joy during the COVID-19 pandemic.  

This week, together with Advancement Project National Office, BlackPAC, National Women’s Law Center and The League we launched the ‘The Sip’ a Facebook Live series.  

The Sip each week will gather for a Power Lunch on Wednesdays, Happy Hour on Fridays and Sunday Brunch with Higher Heights connecting Black women to thought-leaders and innovators across sectors from government, non-profit  and corporate to entertainment, culture and lifestyle.
