The nonprofit Hip Circle Empowerment Center will
celebrate International Women’s Day by throwing a barefoot gala from 4-8 p.m.
on March 8. The event will feature the powerful speaker Heather “Byrd” Roberts,
a dinner and dialogue to discuss the theme #EachForEqual, a Belly Dance
experience led by Executive Director Malik Turley, and a silent auction to
benefit women in the Evanston and Rogers Park community.
Through a full schedule of dance and fitness
offerings, the center helps women meet their wellness goals, find an outlet for
their creative expression and connect with a community of women with similar
wants and needs. Turley describes the “decisive mission that through dance,
fitness and community, we empower all women to believe they are strong,
beautiful and worthy of attention.”
Board President Katie Nordine says the center is
“where you are accepted and loved just for showing up, and everyone is able to
be themselves—it’s a magical, magical thing.”
