Zora's beginnings: Zora's House to engage, empower women of color
Since its founding, Zora's House has served more than 3,000 women and provided a place for them to gather, connect, feel safe and thrive in their lives and careers. Named for author-activist Zora Neale Hurston, the nonprofit is described on its website as "part grassroots community space, part co-working studio, part workshop and event space."
It also serves as inclusive learning space for the community at large on issues of race, politics, economics, arts and culture as they relate to the identities and experiences of women of color.
Currently located at 1311 Summit St. near the Ohio State University campus. Zora's House is in the process of building and raising funds for a new headquarters space in Weinland Park.
