    Attending CDAWF sessions has been time well spent! The wide range of topics covered is truly beneficial, and Founder & CEO Marie Antoine-Pierre ensures they meet our needs. The dedicated presenters join us after their workday, eager to answer questions and offer guidance.

    I encourage everyone to take advantage of these free sessions on health, home, and family. I look forward to them every year and hope more people join this supportive community.
