empowHER Lounge Going Virtual!

Turlock, CA (July 29, 2020) – With the postponement of the Stanislaus County Fair, the empowHER Lounge will be holding a FREE virtual rally on Saturday, August 8th starting at 10 a.m.

The empowHER Virtual Lounge has partnered Women’s Education and Leadership League (WELL), Studio V, and Signe Darpirian to bring wellness, finances and mental health in the forefront of things to discuss.  The empowHER Lounge is dedicated to inspiring young women to not only empower themselves, but also those around them by cultivating empowerment and confidence in young women.

“With the recent pandemic among us, many of us need various resources to turn to, especially on the topic of mental health,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “The virtual lounge topics we have chosen are topics that many of us are struggling with. This virtual lounge is for all, not just women, we want to be inclusive for all.”

Alkhas created the lounge with the mentality of teaching young women how to support and nurture one another instead of subduing to the female norm of consistently competing and comparing. Setting such a tone will undeniably yield successful leaders of the future. Through informative and interactive workshops, the empowHER Virtual Lounge will be able to support this goal.

“Although many Fairs are postponed, we still want to be relevant in education as much as possible for our community and this is another avenue,” said Alkhas.

Guests who sign up through the Fair’s website for the virtual lounge will receive giveaways after attending the sessions.

  1. Girl, Get off your couch – 10 a.m.
  • Self-Care Morning Pilates with Victoria Popoff
