Holding Space: Women, Wellness & the Weight We Carry
Rooted in the Federation of Black Canadians’ pillars of Total Health, Community Building, and Employment Development, this roundtable moves beyond a traditional webinar format to foster meaningful exchange and mutual support. By exploring themes such as burnout, emotional regulation, systemic barriers, and the transition from school to workforce, the event creates space for reflection while equipping women with tangible strategies for resilience—without glorifying struggle. In the spirit of International Women’s Day, the roundtable embodies reciprocal impact: offering space, insight, and community while empowering participants with tools, clarity, and collective strength.
