GLOW Women Rise invites the community to join us for our second annual Empowerment
Forum, which will be held virtually on Saturday, June 5, 2021. The focus will be on the
International Women’s Day theme #ChooseToChallenge. Discussions and workshops were
selected to motivate participants to challenge themselves and each other in the areas of
discrimination, personal finances, body positivity, and community. The Empowerment Forum is
a free event (donations gratefully accepted) and is open to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The keynote speaker will be the author and award-winning lecturer Tamara L. McMillan,
PhD.c,CPSC. A Buffalo native, Tamara is also the founder of McMillan Empowerment
Enterprises (MEE). As an agent of change, MEE has shaped the lives of countless girls and
women worldwide by providing tools of transformation while passionately empowering them to
reconnect to their own life’s purpose to embrace and narrate their own stories.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Empowerment Forum encourages women’s growth and networking across the region and is
appropriate for adolescents and older, and is open to anyone interested in empowering women!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please encourage participation from the teen and young adult women in your lives. GLOW
Women Rise will also be honoring the GRIT Award winners. The GRIT Award is given to
women within the community who exhibit tenacity, fearlessness, and spirit in advocating for an
underrepresented group in the GLOW region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nominees for this honor can be submitted through the organization’s website and are due by May 14, 2021.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event includes taking a moment to recognize the loss of many women in our communities
and our families. GLOW Women Rise encourages you to participate in this tribute by submitting
a memorial at bit.ly\/GWRMemorial.
The Empowerment Forum will be held virtually and can be viewed on computers, tablets, and on
most cell phones.
