4 REASONS WHY BLACK WOMEN WILL IS ONE-OF-A-KIND

1. We focus on real-time transformation. Attendees walk in nervous about completing their legal documents, and they walk out with a signed and notarized will & healthcare directive in hand.

2. We celebrate women for handling their business while they are living by creating a fun, vibrant experience that changes the energy of estate planning from morbid to motivational. From our 360 photo booth to giveaways to the latest line dances, BWW is a good vibe for everyone who attends.

3. BWW is a unique networking event for all attendees, including the hundreds of attorneys, paralegals, notaries & general volunteers that support the day of. Many of our sponsors have connected with other sponsors and attorneys to pursue new business opportunities. Some of our volunteers have gotten jobs as a result of our event and others have formed new friendships.

4. We help Black women enforce a plan to transfer financial & mental wealth from one generation to the next. We empower them to make life-changing decisions, such as choosing the executor of their will or determining who should make medical decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. This peace of mind is priceless.
