For more than a century, International Women’s Day has honored the courage, leadership, and contributions of women across generations. This year marks 115 years of global action toward gender equality.

The 2026 theme, Give to Gain, reminds us of something powerful.
When we give, we strengthen the world around us.
🤲 Giving knowledge.
🤲 Giving mentorship.
🤲 Giving resources.
🤲 Giving visibility.
🤲 Giving time.
Every act of generosity expands opportunity and opens pathways for women to lead, create, and shape the future.

Women are educators, artists, leaders, and culture keepers who are strengthening humanity through learning, connection, and shared purpose.
When women thrive, society moves forward.

Today The Well Collective honors the women who came before us, the women leading today, and the generations still rising.

What will you give to help advance gender equality?

What is one small way I can show up for someone in my life this week that strengthens the space between us?

Maggie Lena Walker believed economic dignity was foundational to human dignity.

Born in Richmond in 1864 to a formerly enslaved mother, Walker became the first Black woman in the United States to charter and serve as president of a bank. Through the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, she created pathways for Black families to build financial stability during an era of racial exclusion.

Her leadership was steady. Visionary. Grounded in collective progress.

Walker understood that thriving requires more than individual effort. It requires structures that support opportunity, learning, and long-term growth.

This Women’s History Month, we honor her example of restorative leadership rooted in history, shaped by courage, and built for future generations.

What was once a monument to extraction is becoming a home for renewal, expression, and human-centered learning.

The Branch Building now hosts The Well Collective programs that strengthen emotional capacity, intellectual curiosity, and restorative leadership. The goal is to reach thousands each year by connecting in shared learning and growth.

When have you experienced the power of connection to recovery from isolation or burnout?

Disconnection has become a shared challenge in our society. Through The Well Collective’s programs, we rebuild belonging one relationship, one conversation, and one moment of connection at a time.

We want to hear from you: How has community supported you to grow or reconnect lately?

In Collective Contemplation:
What does it look like to practice compassion not as a feeling, but as a daily act?
What gesture, acknowledgment, or moment of presence could I offer?
Who might I reach out to and connect?

One in four Black Americans can trace their roots back to Richmond.

That is not a statistic. It is a lineage. A story. A thread that runs through the very soil of this city and through every person who has called it home.

Richmond holds history in its bones. It was the capital of the Confederacy. It was the epicenter of America's economic development, built on systems that denied dignity, opportunity, and integrity to entire generations. The weight of that history is real. And it is not something we look away from.

It is something we look toward.

At 1015 East Main Street, The Well Collective now lives inside the historic Branch Building. This structure rose from the ashes of the Civil War in 1866, and housed the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Company during an era when Richmond's insurance industry was deeply intertwined with slavery and Jim Crow. The bricks remember. The architecture bears witness.

And now, those same walls hold something new.

The Well Collective was built on five pillars: restoration, justice, culture and connection, education, and humanity. Each one is a direct response to the history this city carries. Each one is an intentional act of turning what was used to divide into something that unites.

This is Black History Month. Not a moment set apart from the rest of the year. A mirror held up to where we have been, where we are, and where we are choosing to go.
We are proud to honor that history. We are proud to be part of what comes next.
The bricks remember. And now, they bear witness to something new.
