RISE: The Brown Girl Wellness Reskill Career Project
If you’re a woman of color who’s recently faced a layoff—from the federal government, corporate world, or anywhere else—know this: your story isn’t over. It’s unfolding. RISE is where you reclaim every page. We offer powerful career skills, holistic wellness, and a community that believes in your brilliance.
Why RISE?
There’s a strength inside you that outlasts any setback. Our ancestors faced chains and still found ways to fly; you are their dream realized. RISE is here to help you remember that resilience, reconnect with your purpose, and rise higher than you ever imagined.
What Does RISE Stand For?
