Location: Silver Spring, MD
Admission: $25
Admission: $25
Pumps & Brunch hosted by A Woman's Worth Conference & Celebration, is a women-only event that uses goal-centered, interactive and inspiring activities that put women in the driver’s seat of their goals. They're teaching women how to earn more money, get a better position at their job and start or grow a business without compromising their personality, values or integrity. They're bringing it back for a THIRD year because our attendees get results after attending this event.
Pumps & Brunch is all about increasing the likelihood of a woman’s professional success and removing the obstacles standing between her and that success. It’s not a mixer, networking event, pep rally or a pep talk, workshop or a seminar. It's a day filled with games, unique assignments, chats and opportunities.

The women will discuss their work on the frontlines, the current environment of organizing, and how we can build bridges as women across movements to work for freedom, dignity and safety for all our people.

Formed in the mold of the legendary girl groups of the '50s and '60s, En Vogue's throwback sound resonated with audiences, propelling their 1990 debut Born to Sing to No. 3 on the Top R&B Albums chart. 1992 follow-up Funky Divas would prove an even bigger success, earning the band a host of awards and five Grammy nominations with ubiquitous No. 1's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" and "Giving Him Something He Can Feel." The group's sophisticated image, benefitting from several stylish videos in heavy rotation on MTV, added to their appeal, earning them more MTV Video Music Awards than any other female group in history.
