(April 22, 2009) - Continuing its mission to empower women, Heal a Women to Heal a Nation, Inc. (HWHN), a community-based organization that promotes holistic wellness among women, hosted their sixth annual Heal a Woman to Heal a Nation Conference at Coppin State University’s Tawes Center on April 18. This year’s theme, “Rejuvenating Sisterhood,” was a call to action for women to shed past burdens and reunite. As part of the conference, the Raising Him Alone Campaign, an initiative dedicated to researching, designing and implementing a movement to support the social well being of single mothers, employed the mothers of several celebrities, including rapper/activist Common and rapper Talib Kweli, to speak with single mothers about resources available to them.
