The Canadian Women of Colour Leadership Network (CWCLN) is a Black-led and Black-serving community organization creating culturally responsive programs, education and supports that centre Black women and femmes while serving Black and other racialized communities.
Our work spans mental health and wellness, leadership and mentorship, economic and workforce development, peer support, system navigation, creative wellness, and community education and connection.
You’re Invited to Creative Expressions Year 5!
Join us for Creative Expressions: Rooted & Radiant – The Fifth Element: Spirit, a FREE seven-week creative wellness experience created exclusively for Black and racialized women, femmes, non-binary, and gender-diverse community members.
This year’s journey explores Spirit, the part of us that dreams, creates, imagines, connects, and finds meaning. Together, we’ll create space to honour our stories, celebrate our culture, spark our curiosity, and discover new ways to express ourselves through creativity, community, and connection.
