Voices of Washington Wine
A Brave Space
Brave Spaces is platform to inspire our readers to look within to see how unconscious biases affect their own thoughts, to provide education on various topics surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as it relates to women in the Washington wine industry, and empowering our readers to take meaningful action to drive change forward. This is not only a safe space, but a brave space where anyone can speak, learn, and ask questions without fear of being belittled, ridiculed, and most importantly be retaliated against.
