presents
The Sisters For Life
Health and Wellness Expo 2023!
Saturday May 6th , 2023, 9am to 5pm
Mobile Convention Center
1 S. Water St. Mobile, Al
When we look at women, we realize that they are the backbone of families, communities and many job industries. There are many female owned businesses, activists, political figures, educators, and community figures who have worked effortlessly to contribute greatly to these entities. These women, deserve to be celebrated. Although there are many events in the city, there is not one that specifically focuses on the overall health of women. We would like to change that narrative by offering an event that will highlight, educate, and empower women on an overall healthy lifestyle. The Sisters For Life Health and Wellness Expo will be a day of education, workshops, panels, speakers, and entertainment. All of these components will focus on fostering healthier lifestyles, spirit, mind, and body, for these women, whether they are business owners, employees, political figures, students, or homemakers. The main focus will be women’s health, hence the date in the month of May which is Women’s Health Month. Our keynote speakers and panelists will consist of local and celebrity experts from these fields. We will also have vendors for shopping, fashion shows, a DJ and musical artists for entertainment, beauty tips from experts, financial sessions, relationship
discussions, education, job recruitment, fitness experts, dietary experts, etc. throughout the day.
We will give away door prizes as well. Admission will be $5 at the door.

"What an inspiring day! If you didn't make it to this year's Sister for Life expo - set a reminder for next year. The event focused on women's overall well-being, with informational workshops, entertainment, and demonstrations. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with fellow broadcast journalists for a panel discussion on, "Staying Positive in a World of Bad News." I reminded the audience the importance of practicing gratitude, prioritizing meditation, journaling and prayer."

"I had the most amazing Saturday sitting alongside the best of the best on the Women In Media panel at the Sister For Life Health & Wellness Expo.
I like to think of myself as a "girls girl" and I am so grateful that Nspire U gave us the opportunity to come together and share our experiences of how to remain positive in a world of bad news.
There's power in unity and this event showed that!"
