Julian B. Kiganda, the visionary behind EMERGE Live!, emphasizes the necessity for women to reclaim their joy: “After attending six funerals and navigating unimaginable grief and loss in 2022, I recognized that many of my sisters were going through similar struggles, often in isolation. It made me realize how crucial it is for Black women to find spaces where they can authentically express themselves and find support. EMERGE Live! is that space—a place to rediscover joy and create a new vision for personal and professional fulfillment.”
