The NUSHU Thought Leader Series is a webinar series hosted by NUSHU founder Vanessa Cornell. It was born out of a desire to offer connection and support during a challenging time through inspiring conversations.

We pose the question – what does it really mean to be a healer? How do we step into our power while still owning our full humanity? How do we identify what is meant for us and what is holding us back from realizing our potential? Listen in on a deeply honest and frank conversation between NUSHU Founder Vanessa Cornell and Lauren Ash on their journeys to now and their visions for the future. If there is a part of you that thinks that you have unrealized potential to be a healer in this world, or if you are already actively pursuing a path of offering healing in this lifetime, this talk is for you.

Lauren Ash is a visionary, spiritual teacher, engaging speaker and writer, and founder and CEO of the culture-shifting lifestyle brand synonymous with black women’s wellbeing—Black Girl In Om. Black Girl in Om is a holistic lifestyle brand focused on wellness for women of color and its membership community, The Circle, focuses on connecting the dots between healing and wholeness.

As a leading voice in the healthy-living world, Lauren’s brilliance has shifted how many of us perceive “wellness” and the industry that houses it. What we appreciate most is her outlook on what it means to be well, what it means to be whole, who wellness is for, and why healing in community is so important.
