Women's Empower-Nic
"I am proud and thrilled to introduce Women's Empower-Nic ® a transformative and empowering experience for women of all ages and backgrounds. With a compassionate focus on minority women and mothers.
Our theme for 2026 is "In the Mix with Your Happiness!"
I am grateful for the amazing women who participated in the Women's Empower-Nic® inaugural event in 2022 in the midst of a global pandemic. Our gatherings since then have helped women fell welcomed and safe to share, speak their truth, and empower one another. These experiences are a beautiful safe space, with positive vibes, for women to socialize and freely share their trials, testimonies and triumphs. Through these gatherings we are changing the narrative and impacting women in our community and globally.
Join us for the next gathering!
Powerfully yours,
--Mahogany Reynolds
