Join us for a evening moderated by The Indie Alley's Ruth Kim as we talk about our individual journeys that started in the corporate world and how we rose within the ranks only to find out that it wasn't what we wanted after all.  Driven by ambition and internal tenacity each of us realized success, yet once the destination was reached something else spoke to us.  Find out what we did about it.

We had so much fun in the Spring updating our wardrobes with cabi that we've decided to do it again for the Fall Season. Join our (amazing) cabi stylist Crystal McClendon-Gourdine as she takes us through the latest collection. Over the course of the evening, wine glass in hand, you'll get to try everything on and find what works for you!

Join us for an evening with author Alison Hart as she reads from her startling debut novel, Mostly White, followed by an audience Q&A. Throughout this sweeping and compassionate novel, Alison Hart’s unforgettable characters struggle with racism, poverty, and how to honor the call of their ancestors while forming their own identities. Mostly White unflinchingly examines facets of America’s difficult past—and the many ways this past pervades our present. A percentage of ticket sales will go to Raices, a nonprofit agency that provides free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families and refugees.

This period of life can be incredibly challenging. We hear about the midlife crisis and menopause, but these terms tend to minimize the real struggle associated with this phase. The reality is that many of us are struggling with our professional lives and goals, the aging process, keeping all of our most important relationships healthy, and making the time to do the things that rejuvenate us and fill our spirits. Despite these challenges, this life stage presents an enormous opportunity for growth and ultimately great happiness and satisfaction. It takes introspection, intention, and often some wise guidance.

For this special Lunch & Learn, Dr. Eileen Appelbaum, Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Washington, DC, will share some of her journey as an activist, academic, and mother/grandmother; and some of her perspective about her work, and the state of our country and world today, especially challenges for women. 

Dr. Appelbaum has been a role model and mentor to many people and especially several generations of women coming up the ranks in Academia and elsewhere. She has a unique perspective and many insights on navigating the challenges of work-life balance, finding your own voice as a woman, and being respected in the workplace and achieving equality.

It’s easy to believe you can’t affect any real, lasting change, but you make an impact every single time you show up to life with a kind, open heart. Really, nothing stands to transform our world more than a commitment to live our lives from love. Join author Scott Stabile for an evening designed to reconnect you with the transcendent power of love. Just in time for summer!
