THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER OF

JUNE 2026 - ISSUE #126

Hey Friends! 

 

I have never believed that success is a solo journey.

 

Every business I have built, every goal I have reached, every moment I am proud of has had someone behind it. A mentor who told me the truth when I needed to hear it. A partner who stayed consistent when things got hard. A community that reminded me who I was when I started to forget.

 

Strong partnerships and support systems are everything because no one builds anything meaningful alone. Whether it is a family, a business, or a community, growth becomes a lot easier when people feel supported, understood, and challenged to become better. The right people around you can help you stay grounded during difficult times and push you toward your potential during good ones.

 

And I think we sometimes overcomplicate what support actually looks like. Sometimes it is encouragement. But other times it is accountability, consistency, or simply showing up. Meaningful support comes from being intentional, not just emotionally, but financially, mentally, and professionally as well.

 

That is something I take seriously in my own life and in my partnership with Support Your Girlfriends. When women are supported well, everything around them grows.

 

So this month, I want to leave you with something practical. Here is what showing up for the people in your corner can look like:

None of us build anything meaningful alone. The right people make all the difference. This month, be that person for someone.

 

With respect and gratitude, 
Anthony Williams 
Owner, Vivid Advisory

 

This month, we are providing ACCESS in a big way and we could not do it without the partners who believe in this community as much as we do.

 

We are proud to continue our partnership with Pfizer as we bring our wellness series to New York City. Together, we are creating meaningful conversations around the health topics that impact women and families every day. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to providing access to trusted information, expert insights, and supportive spaces where women feel seen, heard, and empowered.

 

We are also thrilled to continue our partnership with Vivid Advisory to bring our Wealth Building series to New Jersey! Vivid Advisory has been a dedicated champion of this community, providing access to conversations about financial responsibility, investing, and protecting everything you are working so hard to build.

 

Two events. Two powerful partnerships.

Reserve your seat at the table. Details for both events are below.

 

Join us for Spring Into the Skin You Are In, a Community Brunch Event hosted by Support Your Girlfriends and Pfizer. Together, we are creating meaningful conversations around alopecia and hair loss, offering education, expert insights, and community for those navigating their hair and wellness journeys.

 

Featuring an incredible lineup of speakers including Jennifer Hoffman, Aziza Shuler, Dr. Nikkia McClain, Jordan Emanuel, Bershan Shaw, and Karen Mitchell.

 

We're providing access to information, inspiration, and sisterhood. More than anything, we are reminding every person in the room that you don't have to go through it alone.

We're bringing our financial workshop series to New Jersey!! 

You Can't Build What You Don't Protect is a workshop on increasing financial responsibility, designed to give women real tools, real strategies, and real conversations around investing, ownership, and protecting what they are building.

Featuring Dr. Nikkia McClain, Anthony Williams, Brandi Hydleburg, and Debbie Douglas, this is the room you need to be in.

We are still glowing from our inaugural Support Your Girlfriends Retreat in Barbados.
 

Twenty-seven women gathered for four nights and three days of connection, growth, laughter, and sisterhood. Together, we participated in impactful workshops, shared meaningful conversations, created lasting memories, and built the kind of relationships that extend far beyond a weekend away.
 

Despite what the world sometimes tells us, women can be friends. Real friends. The kind who cheer for one another, hold space for one another, laugh together, grow together, and walk alongside each other through every season of life.

 

That is the power of sisterhood. That is the power of community.
And that is the heart of Support Your Girlfriends. 💗

We can't wait for our next retreat! Details dropping soon….Stay tuned.

The New York Chapter is taking sisterhood on the move with a bike ride on Governors Island.

 

On Sunday, June 28, we will gather for the Full Circle Sisterhood Ride, a meaningful afternoon of movement, reflection, and connection. Take this opportunity to slow down, check in with yourself, and connect with other women in a setting that is both symbolic and inspiring.

 

If you are in the New York area, we would love for you to join us as we ride, reflect, and rise together. This event is open to members and non-members. Also, quick reminder: even if you're a member of our New Jersey or Atlanta chapters (and have been to the New York), you are welcome to attend.

JOURNEY: Celebrating Fathers Through Story, Legacy & Community

Join us for an intimate documentary exploring the resilience, love and untold stories of fathers of color.

 

JOURNEY is a powerful documentary that explores fatherhood through the voices of men from different generations and backgrounds. The film challenges common misconceptions about Black fatherhood and highlights stories of love, sacrifice, resilience, accountability, and legacy.

Through honest conversations and personal reflections, JOURNEY celebrates the fathers who show up and the bonds that strengthen families and communities. Following the screening, guests are invited to participate in a conversation with the filmmakers and featured participants. This special event takes place during Father's Day and Juneteenth weekend, offering an opportunity to honor fathers, family, and community.
