We’re excited to announce that after 3.5 years in existence, we finally built out our own website! When we started this passion project in 2021, we had no idea what a beautiful community that it would become.

Today, we have around 300 women connected in our online groups, upwards of 50 regular “active” members, and have led more than 80 BWE-specific activities. This does not include activities where we partner with other groups or organizations. It’s been truly a labor of love.

By creating this website, we now have a space to talk broadly about what we do, share resources, and eventually share the stories of our members. We even plan to have a quarterly newsletter! Check out the website via the link below and in our bio!
