A note from Susan on the theme: Why do we love adult and children’s nonfiction? Because we’re curious about everything! Maybe you want to know more about the most pressing topics of the day or understand the implications of AI. Or are you a fab fact-lover? (Just ask a kid about dinosaurs or sharks to find one of these.) Some of the best nonfiction books shine a light on individuals and events from the past and present, or they use illustrations or photos to invite us into other worlds, from animals, travels, cooking, and more. What’s hot, and what’s not, and what challenges face the nonfiction category today? Let’s talk about it over dinner.
Susan's event is in-person at Sachi Asian Bistro, 713 Second Avenue @ 38th Street.

Free for WMG members, $15 for non-members
In celebration of Juneteenth, join WMG member Fatimah Gilliam and WMG co-President Jodi Brockington in conversation about the origins of Juneteenth and how to best honor this holiday today. They will also discuss Fatimah's forthcoming book: Race Rules—What Your Black Friend Won’t Tell You. This sneak peek into the book will focus on identifying and helping all of us navigate the unwritten “rules” relating to race in today’s racially-polarized world. Topics will include cultural appropriation, micro-aggressions, and best practices for discussing race. The goal is to provide concrete and actionable guidance about complex issues for how individuals can adapt in their personal and professional lives to the pivotal times we're living in by responding with knowledge and facts, not just emotion. Come learn, listen, and be a part of this important conversation.
Fatimah Gilliam is Founder and CEO of The Azara Group, which is a management consulting firm specializing in diversity and inclusion, leadership development, negotiation, and strategy consulting services for Fortune 500 companies and institutional clients. Her mission is to empower her clients to be strong leaders, have successful careers, and be strategic in influencing others. Her book Race Rules hits bookshelves on January 30, 2024.

A note from Stacey on the theme: Bring Your Success Stories for a discussion of the strategic marketing tactics that helped your small business stand out! We will talk through the challenges of launching a new marketing campaign with a limited budget for both B2C & B2B ideas. What marketing is most effective? Online Ads or advertorials? Social media--what is still working? Instagram, TikTok, or Pinterest? What doesn't work? Are trade shows effective to reach your B2B customer base? Does an email sales funnel program help you achieve your goals? Join us to connect with the unique experts in our women's network.

Join international award-winning leadership & empowerment expert Ashley T Brundage as she shares the four empowerment steps to impact change for all the months beyond just June. She will share her unique story of overcoming harassment, discrimination, and homelessness as a proud woman of transgender experience. Come ready to engage with resources created to support each step of the process to be an agent of change, and dive into some of the empowering actions found in the last step.
About the speaker:
Ashley T Brundage started her second career as a means of survival. Beginning when she decided to self identify during job interview’s as a male to female transgender woman, she fought through homelessness, discrimination, and harassment to rise above and find employment as a teller for a major US based corporation. She captured this process of career development in her new award-winning book and online course called Empowering Differences. Since beginning transitioning in 2008, she has worked tirelessly to promote awareness and acceptance of gender identity and expression. Personally, she enjoys time with her 2 teenage boys who serve as the main source of inspiration and empowerment for her. She volunteers for numerous organizations most notably as the Vice Chair for the GLAAD National Board of Directors, which works to accelerate acceptance for the LGBTQ+ Community.
