Members from WIMOs Southern Louisiana Chapter enjoyed a private pilates class at Forward Fitness and brunch. Lisa McGoey, WIMOs member and Executive Director of Mississippi Valley Trade and Transport Council, said: "WIMOs Southern Louisiana Chapter hosted an empowering event exclusively for women at a women owned Pilates studio, Forward Fitness. The atmosphere was filled with positivity and support as women of all ages and fitness levels came together to celebrate strength and wellness. After the class, refreshments were provided allowing attendees to network and build relationships with each other. This gathering wasn't just about fitness; it was about lifting each other up and creating a supportive network of women dedicated to personal growth and empowerment."

Wimos Houston Chapter screened a documentary called ARISE Firebird at the Rooftop Cineman Club last night. This documentary celebrates the resilience and empowerment of women and BIPOC professionals in the workplace. We witnessed the incredible journeys of three extraordinary individuals as they overcome inner obstacles and discover joy and strength in their professional lives. This film showcases the indomitable spirit of women and people of color, highlighting their triumphs and struggles in a world that has often marginalized them. It serves as a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every individual can thrive. After the screening the filmmaker, Jimi Okubanjo, joinined us from London to participate in a fireside chat discussion. #ARISEFIREBIRD
