eMPWR On the Map: Issue 2 Release Party

Join us for the official release of eMPWR Magazine Issue 2: A lively celebration of culture, identity, storytelling, fashion and community.

Founded in Detroit, eMPWR Magazine was created to amplify women of color and place our stories at the forefront. Our second issue brings together original eMPWR campaigns alongside global submissions from women around the world, exploring heritage, womanhood, culture and identity across borders.

Now, we’re bringing those stories off the page and into one unforgettable night in the city where eMPWR began.

Guests are encouraged to wear their own cultural attire if they’d like and bring a piece of their own story into the celebration.

On the Map is a space to meet people from different backgrounds, share culture, discover something new and celebrate the women and stories that deserve to be seen. Women from all backgrounds are welcome, and allies are invited to come celebrate, support and have fun with us too.

More experiences, vendors and special moments will be announced leading up to the event. This is more than a magazine release. It’s a night to celebrate where we come from, connect across cultures and put our stories On the Map!
