This Wednesday
Hear from LEGACY BioStudios, founder Assata Worrell, who is passionate about diversity and access in the medical world. LEGACY BioStudios created the Maternity Education Lookbooks, which are translated into English, Spanish, French, and Swahili. They created these lookbooks that feature color illustrations of black and brown women which cover trimesters, development, anatomy, birth, and birth control. The intent is to help clinicians better communicate with their patients while these women build confidence by learning terminology to begin advocating for themselves.

About 1 Million Cups Cedar Rapids
The Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups (1MC) on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee. We welcome early-stage businesses and established companies facing interesting challenges to present their companies. Typically, one or several representatives present before a panel of experts. They seek advice and then engage the audience in a question-and-answer session to encourage collaborative and honest conversations. We also feature expert speakers, founder fireside interviews, and explorations of business failures and the lessons learned!
The Cedar Rapids chapter is the sixth in the U.S., Every event is free, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Join us every 2nd & 4th Wednesdays @ 8:45 a.m. at NewBoCo Each event features a presentation or conversation with a new founder, entrepreneur, business leader, subject matter expert, or creative. Find a list of upcoming events and presenters on our Calendar.
We update events as new information is available, so check the calendar often.
