Dr. Melissa Crum teams up with Zora's House to support women of color leaders.
You are invited to the
Brave Space Group Coaching for Women Leaders of Color!
A partnership between Zora's House and Mosaic Education Network
What is Zora’s House?
Zora’s House is a non-profit that provides women of color and gender expansive people of color with the space, the skills, and the strategic connections they need to thrive, personally and professionally.
What do you do there? (Also: What kind of programs do you offer?)
As an organization, we give women of color what they need to grow – whatever that might be at this moment. But typically it takes the form of one of three things: Space, Skills, or Strategic Connections:
- Space: For some, they use our coworking, shared offices, and retreat space, as a safe haven to connect with others and work towards their own dreams.
- Skill building: If women are looking to build skills, they may choose to enroll in programs like our HerWay Business Builder, Wealth Builder programs, or Leadership Fellows program.
- Strategic Connections: Whether you’re new to the community or born and raised in Central OH, Zora’s House members build connections with new mentors, collaborators, and supporters that they may never have met outside of ZH.
Level up your influence.
