Gatherings · Detroit

It's already happening. Come sit at the table.

Empowered Women Connections — real rooms of mission-minded women building and leading without performing. No networking theater. Just honest conversation, in person, in Detroit.

The room

Mission-minded women, one table at a time.

A collective committed to uplifting each other and our communities — contributing our "1%" to a wave of support and abundance. For women who want to give back, find some peace, build real friendships, and leave the world a little better than they found it.

Spread the love. One percent at a time.
