Friend --

This is just a friendly reminder to please join us today at 2:00 p.m. ET on either Facebook Live or Youtube for #TheSipHour. Today we will have a conversation on the attack on Blackness and the over policing of Black bodies even during COVID-19.

#TheSipHour each week also gathers for a Power Lunch on Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. ET, and a Happy Hour on Fridays at 5:00 p.m. ET, to connect Black women to thought-leaders and innovators across sectors from government, non-profit  and corporate to entertainment, culture and lifestyle.

We look forward to seeing you today to take part in our conversation virtually with women all across the country.

Onward,

Friend --

We hope you will join us this weekend for Sunday Brunch with Higher Heights presented by #TheSipHour. On this week's menu we will explore the attack on Blackness taking place in recent weeks that has been making national headlines and plaguing our communities.

Tensions have run high at the release of the video of the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, an unarmed Black man killed while jogging, has sparked national outrage after his family recently released a video of his death. His case also went months with only a limited investigation; it wasn’t until the video went viral that the two white men involved with shooting were arrested.

Similarly, in Kentucky, 26-year old Breonna Taylor's shooting death has been called an "execution", as she was asleep in her apartment when police burst into her home to serve a search warrant.

And this week in New York, 22-year-old mother Kaleemah Rozier was tackled to the ground by police officers in front of her child during a confrontation over wearing a mask.

We hope you will join us for a deep dive conversation on the attack on Blackness and the over policing of Black bodies even during #COVID19. Our guests include:

• Letitia "Tish" James, New York Attorney General
• Sybrina Fulton, Activist
• Tamika Mallory, Activist
• Lonita Baker, Attorney, Aguiar Injury Lawyers, PLLC
• James  “Major” Woodall, GA State Director, NAACP

‘The Sip’, continues 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.  

In these new virtual times, The Sip will be on-hand for your weekly programming to stay in-the-know on all things affecting Black women and our communities.  We’ll see you at Sunday Brunch and keep an eye on your inbox for more invites to come.

Best,

Glynda
