#BWWDAY

I come to BWWDAY to get my mind, body, spirit, and money lifted, and it never disappoints!

— Wanda H., Beloit, WI

There’s something for every woman at BWWDAY! The speakers, the workshops, the resources, the sisterhood…you name it, it’s there! 

— Mary B., Madison, WI 

The love and sisterhood can be felt the moment you walk in! I’ve never experienced this before in an event, and it keeps me coming back! 

— Keisha F., Milwaukee, WI

Words can’t describe what happens at BWWDAY! You come in empty and leave filled up!

— Carla J. Illinois

Black Women’s Wellness Day changed my life and saved my life!  It sparked my healing, and I’m a new woman! 

— Christine L., Madison, WI

I didn’t know what I needed until I stepped into BWWDAY and found it! My life has not been the same since that day, and I’m on a new path to wellness! 

— Tamela R., Madison, WI
