Building a Gender Equal World
BGF CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY WITH EBONY WALDEN
Building Goodness Foundation invites you to a virtual event on March 8th at 12:00pm in honor of International Women’s Day and those who tirelessly work to create a gender-equal world.
#ChooseToChallenge. Challenge is the focus of the 2021 International Women’s Day: a call to dream, to dare and to take action. Together, we challenge the inequities that hold women back across the globe, and we work to build a world where every woman and girl has the opportunity to live into their greatest hopes and potential.
We are thrilled to announce the participation of Ebony Walden - urban planner, consultant and facilitator - as guest speaker for our 2nd annual “Building a Gender Equal World.”
For more than a decade, Ebony has been assisting non-profit, philanthropic and government leaders that are passionate about building thriving and inclusive communities. Ebony’s experience and unique approach to current gender issues will help us to better understand the challenges faced by global women in 2021. She will demonstrate how, together, we can achieve more toward women’s well-being and empowerment.
Guests will have opportunities for one-on-one conversations with Ebony before joining two roundtables led by BGF partners and exemplary women in leadership: Katie Morrow, Executive Director and Co-founder of Limitless Horizon Ixil, and Aleen Carey, Outreach and Resource Program Director from Cultivate Charlottesville. We look forward to hearing them share their experiences and insights in supporting women’s equity both in Charlottesville and in Central America.
From building birthing Centers in Haiti, Women’s clinics in Liberia and schools for girls in Guatemala, to renovating local businesses owned by women in Charlottesville, BGF volunteers have created opportunities for girls and women here in Central Virginia and around the world for more than 21 years.
We hope you will join us for our second annual “Building a Gender Equal World” and look forward to your participation!
