EBWC 2021 REIMAGINED: A Virtual Speaker Series
Celebrating 16 Years of Excellence

Thank you Isha Sesay!
It was an honor hosting former CNN anchor turned activist turned OKAY Media CEO Isha Sesay last week for a riveting conversation. Sesay's courageous efforts to free the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram are depicted in her must-read book, Under the Tamarind Tree.
This is what our participants had to say: "That you for being an amazing humanitarian and having the courage to stand up for Human Rights! We are so grateful for your exemplary leadership," Stacy Hunt MD. "Great advice about how to get off the sidelines. Thank you, Isha Sesay, you inspire me," Dawn Lopshire, Office Evolution. What has the series meant for you? We'd love to hear from you.
EBWC 2021 is presented by the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau in conjunction with John Muir Health & Stanford Children's Health.
