Black Women Cook
Transforming Palates to Our Diverse Cultures
Black Women Cook is an opportunity reimagined in the virtual environment for women to connect in their kitchens while learning new and innovative techniques in preparing food. The goal is for Black Women to experience the joy of cooking in their own kitchen, while making healthier ingredient choices and ways to prepare meals. Black Women are twice as likely to die from heart disease and stroke than their White counterparts.
Black Women Shoot
Firearm Education & Practice
Like the gender gap, the education gap in gun ownership is particularly pronounced among non-Black owners. Black Women are one of the fastest growing demographics of gun owners in the country, however they are still the group that need more access to this type of education and practical training. WATE aims to change that narrative by curating events that expose Black Women to proper techniques and form as well recognizing that the policies and mental health evaluations & screenings that need to be in place to protect one another are essential to allow law abiding citizens to own a firearm. In the meantime check our some our our past shooting events.
Black Women Teach
Subject Training Led by Women
Most of our efforts pertaining to this program involve studying new approaches and developing innovative ways to implement them. We evaluate our success in this field by gathering qualitative and quantitative data, and using that information to measure shifts and changes from our baseline measurements.
Black Women Dance
Our Diverse Musical Sounds Influence Our Diverse Movements
This is an area where we want our dancing community's help in teaching us how to be agile while feeling the music throughout our bodies. Are you a dancer, or just light on your feet. Get in touch with us today and see how you can lend a helping hand with this initiative.
Black Women Swim
Beginners & Intermediate Swim Lessons
Swimming is a life skill and we are actively seeking support through donations of a space or service to empower women in our community to learn to swim. If you have any ideas, please shoot us an email and we'll do the footwork for funding and our future Black Women Swim initiative.

See the beauty in nature. Learn to plant. Grow your food.
We are so ready to begin learning how Mother Nature's beauty bloom. Join us this spring (2024) as we pilot our Black Women Grow program for beginners.
