My heart is overflowing with joy at the outcome of the 10 years anniversary celebration and awards brunch. I want to sincerely thank you for boarding the #WE10Express with me as I reflected on the last decade of impactful work by Women Engaged and talked through my vision for the path ahead.
Your laughter, joy, and above all, your presence made the event truly and absolutely magical. Thank you for taking the time to celebrate with us for such a significant moment in Women Engaged’s history. Not only was the brunch a celebration of the work our organization has done over the past decade but it was also a reflection of the work being done in our community by people like you. People who care, people who invest in their communities, and people who show up to make a difference.
As always, we ask that you continue to engage with us on all platforms to see what we have coming up and how to get involved. We would love to hear from you, and get feedback on your experience with us. Take a moment and complete our post-event survey using this link.
As we continue to push full steam ahead for 2025 on the #WE10 Express, we ask that you buckle up and get ready for the ride! Trains, unlike cars, follow tracks and looking back at the foundation laid by Black women trailblazers, I am sure that we are headed in the right direction! Yet, we will need all hands on deck to get us where we are going.
Please continue to stay tuned for volunteer and job opportunities on our website and social media, and make donations as your generous giving fuels the work we do.
Thank you again for your presence!
Warmest Regards,
Malika Redmond
Cofounder and CEO
Join Us in Celebrating a Decade of Impact with Women Engaged – A Magical Evening for All Ages!
Join us as we mark ten transformative years at Women Engaged, honoring the powerful legacies, histories, and stories that have guided our journey. Rooted in the Sankofa theme—looking back to bring forward—this event invites guests into a world inspired by the wonder of Jingle Jangle in a stunning Afro-Victorian setting. Step aboard this enchanted train as we honor the WE 10, a group of extraordinary individuals nominated by their peers for exemplifying the spirit of Women Engaged and advancing the cause of reproductive justice.
Our family-friendly celebration also offers an unforgettable experience for young attendees, ages 0–14! We’re thrilled to provide onsite childcare, designed to delight and engage, with a winter-themed wonderland of activities tailored to our youngest guests. Children can explore sensory-friendly spaces created to promote relaxation and joy, while a licensed occupational therapist will be present to provide dedicated support for children with special needs. This space ensures that all families feel welcome and that children are included in the evening’s magic.
We will also pay tribute to the 12 foremothers of the Reproductive Justice movement, with a live conversation led by Women Engaged co-founder and CEO Malika Redmond, whose 20+ years of advocacy have empowered communities across the nation. Adding to the magic, Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter Anthony David and the phenomenal Mausiki Scales & the Common Ground Collective will fill the day with incredible music.
Don't miss this celebration—a night where legacies are honored, stories come alive, and families come together to share in a decade of impact with Women Engaged. We look forward to celebrating with you!
