Event Info

"Speaking to so many amazing women felt so personal. I felt connected, and I shared that I've taken away how hard some people's lives have been and the struggles others face on a daily basis. This was an amazing opportunity. I absolutely loved being able to be surrounded by such positivity and comfort. Thank you so much for making this event known!"-- Anonymous Attendee
