WHAT IS Brooklyn WATE ?
Welcome to the heart of Women's Access to Empowerment Inc., a 501(c)3 organization deeply rooted in the vibrant tapestry of Brooklyn. We are not just a community service; we're a dynamic space crafted for Black Women to embrace holistic wellness in all its dimensions. This space is a canvas where Black Women come to not only discover but immerse themselves in their incredible capabilities. Here, being a risk-taker is not just encouraged—it's celebrated. We're not just about building relationships; we're about creating a sisterhood that fosters growth and incubates bold ideas.
Our journey embarked on uncharted territories back in 2014, driven by the profound need for a safe haven where Black Women could connect authentically. It was a space to share fears and insecurities, free from judgment, and gain the inspiration needed to rise above those fears. Because, let's face it, Black Women have always understood the strength found in the support of those who share not just similar experiences, but a deep appreciation for cultural nuances in self-care and wellness.
Fast forward six years, and our journey has woven a vibrant tapestry, connecting over 400 women, celebrating 50+ Black Women leaders, and weaving a commitment to community service and philanthropy into the fabric of Brooklyn, NY. But this is not just a journey; it's a celebration of personal victories. Through active skill building, community service, and the celebration of our triumphs, Black Women here get the chance to be unapologetic risk-takers, reinforcing the powerful message to young girls that representation matters at any age. Come, be a part of our narrative. Discover the strength that comes from shared stories, the resilience born in sisterhood, and the unapologetic celebration of every Black Woman's journey.
This is Women's Access to Empowerment Inc.—where wellness meets empowerment, and every woman's story is a masterpiece waiting to be told.
