What We Do
How We Stay Connected
Women Talk Wednesday
A monthly check-in for your growth. We talk career, business, money, wellness, and everything in between.
Book Club
We read, reflect, and have honest conversations about the ideas shaping our lives.
Signature Events
We meet up in different ways. Sometimes it’s brunch, sometimes it’s a gala, other times it’s just good conversation. What stays the same is the feeling that you’re in the right room, with the right people.Â

Build the WAWT App
We’re launching the WAWT App, a digital home where women of color access mentorship, resources, and community from anywhere. It expands our reach, deepens our connection, and makes sisterhood borderless.
To bring it to life, we’re raising $50,000. One thousand women giving $50 each will fully fund the app. This isn’t just a donation; it’s infrastructure, access, and legacy in motion.
WAWT Impact Box
The WAWT Impact Box is a curated collection of products from Black woman-owned businesses across Canada, designed to drive visibility, sales, and meaningful economic impact.
This is not charity, it’s circulation. Every box strengthens Black-owned supply chains and supports women building sustainable businesses during Black History Month and beyond.
OUR IMPACT
What Happens When Black Women Come Together?
There is a shift in the community. Across Canada, WAWT women are starting businesses, stepping into leadership, and supporting each other in real ways. The Legacy Creative Hub carries this forward by creating space for collaboration, creativity, and new ideas.
