Fight Off the Imposter Syndrome Morning Workout Class with Body Positivity Advocate Jessamyn StanleyPower Women Summit will kick off at 9am on Tuesday, December 8 with a virtual yoga class hosted by Jessamyn Stanley. Jessamyn will also host a small group mentorship session at the event! “Yoga isn’t just for one type of person,” said Stanley. “Right now it’s only marketed toward thin, white, affluent people. That’s such a small percentage of who exists, and it’s not the group of people who need yoga the most.” Jessamyn uses high energy vinyasa flow as a way to move past mental and emotional barriers. Her classes provide a body positive approach to yoga which celebrates students’ bodies and encourages them to ask “How do I feel?” rather than “How do I look?” when practicing yoga.

Missouri's First Black Congresswoman Cori Bush Joins Power Women SummitCongresswoman-Elect Cori Bush and actor/activist Sophia Bush at Power Women Summit 2019 Congresswoman-Elect Cori Bush (D-MO) is no stranger to the Power Women Summit stage. TheWrap's Sharon Waxman first met her at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, where Cori was the subject of the new film "Knock Down the House," a documentary about four working-class women running for Congress. Although Cori didn't win the election, Sharon was inspired by her passion and determination to run for office again. Sharon invited the single mother -- who at the time was still working as a full time nurse -- to speak at WrapWomen's Power Women Breakfast D.C., where Cori brought the audience to a standing ovation. When it came time for the Power Women Summit last year we knew she had to be there too. Cori joined Sophia Bush for another unforgettable conversation. Last month, my team and I could not contain our excitement as Cori Bush was elected Missouri’s first Black Congresswoman. We can't wait to have her join us for Power Women Summit 2020 where she will be interviewed by Emmy Award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien. Who Run the World?! Girls.
