The Just BE Community Wellness Forum for Black Women Entrepreneurs
This is a space by us, for us to connect in community with each other about how we are truly doing in this new COVID-19 normal.
It has been a tough 3 years with the global pandemic transforming our lives and businesses forever, the ramp-up of climate disasters, “racial awakenings”, and the many threats to our democratic freedoms that have encompassed it all (#smh).
In response to feedback from our community, Just BE is rebirthing itself into a national membership-based holistic wellness and shared prosperity organization by and for Black Women Entrepreneurs (BWEs).
Our bold vision is to manifest a world of intergenerational sustainability where BWEs dream, heal, rest, and build legacy businesses rooted in regeneration, self-determination and shared prosperity.
In order to live into our vision, we need to hear from you!
How are you really doing? – And honestly, be real with us.
What business and wellness challenges are you facing as a BWE?
What solutions are you looking for?
And what can we do to help?
Also, we just miss you—our, dear, long lost sister-cousins -and we're looking forward to reconnecting in a spacious, intentional, and joyful way. 💜

FAQs
Who is this event for?
Black Women Entrepreneurs (cis, trans, and non-binary) across the country of all industries, stages, and ages with an emphasis on creative businesses (artists, makers, musicians, designers, writers, etc.)
What in the world is a forum?
A forum is a gathering of people where ideas and views on a particular topic are shared or exchanged. Forums are a powerful way to create social connections, build community, and engage in collective action. Just BE, historically, has always been a community-based organization. We exist in service to you all (BWEs), developing a membership model, programs, and resources that are rooted in what you actually need. Y’all set the agenda, and we tap into the magic of making it happen together.
Why are we hosting a Community Wellness Forum?
Those closest to the issues always know what is best for themselves and their communities. Just BE is hosting this space for you to share what wellness and business challenges you are facing in real-time. We will use your insights to design programming and services that truly meet your needs. We are Black Women Entrepreneur-centered, which means we are always in a process of co-creation with you as a member of our community.
Why should I attend? What will I get out of this experience?
You should attend because you’re brilliant and amazing and deserve to be held in community while you honestly share how you are doing. And for connection! We don’t know about y’all, but we have been feening for human contact in a world that feels even more isolated since the pandemic shutdowns.
As a Black woman entrepreneur, you will gain:
A renewed sense of community and connection with BWEs like yourself
A holistic opportunity to share what wellness and business challenges you are currently grappling with
A platform for what solutions around BWE wellness you would like to see (i.e. programming, service, and resource requests)
An energized sneak peek into Just BE’s rebirth as a membership-based healing, wellness, and shared prosperity community
