A recent Walk + Talk event with LV Girls Who Walk at the Allentown Rose Gardens brought together women for meaningful conversation, movement, and reflection.

The gathering closed with letters to the future self and gentle prompts using our popular affirmation cards available in our marketplace.

Explore the heart behind LV Girls Who Walk, a women-led walking group that’s redefining connection in the Lehigh Valley. Founded by Summer Sankari Polzer, the group started as a casual way to bring women together and has since grown into a powerful movement for empowerment, friendship, and community. We shares Summer’s inspiration, her personal connection to Allentown’s parks, and how she’s turned a simple idea into a space where women feel seen, supported, and strong. We also give you a behind-the-scenes look at the ups and downs of running a community-led brand, plus a sneak peek at the upcoming Summer Walk + Talk Series happening July 13th at the Allentown Rose Gardens.
