As we consider the state of our communities, our economy and thus our nation. One must understand the necessity of an empowered spirit, mind and body. Created by college seniors, April 2004 marked the birth of The Heal a Woman to Heal a Nation (HWHN) conference held at Morgan State University. The conference's goal was to aid in fostering a relationship between collegiate women and women in the surrounding community. It persuaded its participants to look to each other and to become the vanguard for positive change within their communities. The uniqueness and originality of the HWHN stems from its target audience. This conference is not only marketed to collegiate and professional women but also women who live in transitional housing.
