The summit's robust digital experiences will include meditation, wellness tips, cooking workshops, fitness workouts, story time for children, virtual dance parties and more. Highlights of the virtual ESSENCE Wellness House include:

"As we come together to safely get through the COVID-19 crisis, it is critical that we do not allow social distancing to morph into social disconnection," said Richelieu Dennis, founder and chair of Essence Ventures, parent company of Essence Communications, Inc. "So, ESSENCE is leveraging its platform and resources for the continued creation, convening and empowerment of community. We know that health disparities in our community have widened with the increase in economic inequality and that more prevalent underlying health conditions can increase the incidences of severe and potentially fatal cases of COVID-19. We also know that necessary measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus, such as social distancing and business closures, are likely to have a more significant economic impact on our communities and small businesses. So, more than ever, access to empowering information and opportunities is vital, and the health of Black women, their families and our communities depends on it."

Upcoming dates for more content to be streamed on Essence Studios will be announced soon.
