About Us

• It is easy to feel isolated, frustrated and overwhelmed.
• Many African women feel the stress of navigating two cultures.
• Many African women feel the pressure of defining independence, freedom and success – often at odds with ethnic cultures and traditions with which they have been raised.
  

YOU ARE NOT ALONE
African Women Connect, LLC provides opportunities for personal development, networking, sharing information and community involvement.

Through organized events and community involvement activities, members and participants discover local venues, experience old activities in new ways, explore new possibilities, and connect with people and community.
