‘Reconnect, Relax and Refresh’ is the theme of the upcoming Women’s Forum facilitated by GO Topeka’s Minority and Women Business Development program.

 The “Reconnect, Relax and Refresh” Women’s Forum Presented by PTMW is scheduled for June 29 at The Brownstone, 5:30 – 7 p.m. Offered programming includes a mental health discussion with Phelica Glass, LSCSW and chair of the Minority and Women Business Development Council, as well as massages, fashion reveals, food demos and drinks. This event is facilitated by GO Topeka’s Minority and Women Business Development program and the Greater Topeka Partnership.

“This event will offer women in the Topeka & Shawnee County community the opportunity to reconnect with one another, hear from mental health professionals and enjoy relaxing and fun activities as a group,” Glenda Washington, chief equity and opportunity officer, Greater Topeka Partnership, said.

“In light of the many stressors and difficulties brought on by the pandemic, we are asking women to give back to themselves and concentrate on their mental health. A car can’t run on an empty tank and neither can you,” Glass said.

“As we saw more and more people come together within the community, we wanted to direct a special focus on women of all ages and backgrounds coming together to reconnect, refresh and relax, as the title of the event denotes,” Angel Zimmerman, member of the Minority and Women Business Development Council.

This is a free event; however, registration is highly encouraged. Register to this event at bit.ly/WomensForumRRR.

Thank you to additional sponsors Capitol Federal, HTK Architects and The Brownstone Events Center.
