We created this space for women to come together in conversation. A curated, intentional space to raise one another up while wrestling with our shame, anger, and varying perspectives and lived experiences. A container that helps us create more serving and factual stories for ourselves, so we can show up more confidently in the face of race and gender inequities in the workplace.

Our Story
Our Story
Surabhi and Saralyn met in August 2020. We explored many of these concepts in our work together. Surabhi wanted to help women find their power and kept seeing the same pattern of polarizing discussion in so many programs. She wanted to create a program that did just this. She invited Saralyn in to this idea, seeing their alignment as a powerful force to create something with such transformative possibility.
