MARCH 2021 // WOMEN'S CENTER FOR CREATIVE WORK

Alison Carlos ·

For the month of March, SOSOSO pledges to donate 10% of sales to WCCW. They are such a cool organization that provides a space for women and non-binary folks to be creative, gather, organize, inspire, and so on. I am so excited about the work they are doing. You can also support them by purchasing their SALIMA MAGAZINE or anything else in their really cool GIFT SHOP. (I basically just bought everything in one fell swoop)

I strongly urge you to read their MISSION AND CORE VALUES, which I personally think are what every company should strive for.

Looking forward to when COVID is really over and I can get involved in organizations like this one. I hope to see you there.

FEB 2021 // Black Women For Wellness

Alison Carlos ·

Black Women for Wellness started as a group of women who – concerned with the health and well-being of black babies – teamed up with the Birthing Project to implement the Shangazi Program.
This grass roots program matched pregnant women to mentors who coached parents from pregnancy until the child was at least one year old.

Within 4 years of implementation, BWW began moving upstream to address systems and political policy by becoming a California 501 (c) (3) non profit in 1997.

Our Theory of Change

Black Women for Wellness believes in the strength and wisdom of our community and allies. We believe that we have the solutions, resources and responsibility to create the shifts and change needed to impact our health status.
