HerStory Makers — Women’s Celebration 2023
Our second annual HerStory Makers women’s networking event recognizes the contributions and experiences of Black women leaders. Please join us at Lumin Skybar + Kitchen on Thursday, May 18th for the 2023 event. Tickets available through sponsorship here.
Read a preview of the event and our honorees here, thanks to our partners at ABC6/WSYX!
The call of HerStory Makers comes from a desire to give Black women an empowered space that celebrates us in deserved leadership roles and highlights what we can do with or without adequate resources and inclusive pathways to success.
This year’s HerStory Makers event will also recognize Black women leaders who are or will be among the “firsts.”
Please contact Shunda Collins at scollins@cul.org or 614-372-2322 with any questions.
As a reminder, sponsorship of this event benefits programs like IncubateHer and AccelerateHer which supports Black female entrepreneurs. Learn more about sponsorship here. And see our many great sponsors below!
