Please Note: This is a group meant to uplift, empowe …

This is a group meant to bring together people of a similar interest in this area. Meetups will be scheduled as ideas are presented or meetings are needed/wanted. All meetings are optional and open to anyone in the group (RSVP's are suggested before hand) as well as any friends or family that also have an interest in attending.
