The atmosphere at Birmingham’s Avondale Park is set to come alive today with the Women Under Construction Network’s (WUCN) ‘Freedom Friday in the Park’. This monthly multicultural initiative targeted at women, which runs from 5:30 to 7 pm, is the first of its kind in the city and is designed to help participants relieve work/life stress, enhance their physical and mental wellness, and build community through dance and socialization.
Everyone is welcome at this landmark event, which will facilitate interaction and understanding between women from a diverse range of cultures, traditions, and walks of life. Supported by the Birmingham Parks & Recreation Department, UAB Movement-2-Music (limited mobility instructors), Lawson State Community College nursing students, and local vendors, over 250 women are expected to attend the event every first Friday of the month.
The WUCN, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is focused on providing support and empowerment to underserved women and families. ‘Freedom Friday in the Park’ is in line with their mission to “Repair Homes, Build Women and Change Lives.” It provides a safe, engaging, and fun space for women to come together, learn from each other, and build a sense of community.
The event features an impressive array of dance and movement activities led by multicultural instructors and volunteers, including Line Dance, Asian Dance, Country Western, Belly Dancing, Mixed Fitness, Chair Aerobics, Jazzercise, Dance Trance, Indian Dance, Salsa Hispanic, West African dance, Zumba, Limited Mobility Movement, and more. These activities are designed to suit women of different ages and fitness levels, catering to their varied interests and capabilities.

They do this through their various programs and initiatives aimed at building homes, empowering women, and sparking positive change in their lives.
