Event Details

March 8th marks the 104th anniversary of International Women's Day, a holiday celebrating women's solidarity in the fight for equal, economical and political rights. ChickChat's Half the Sky: Changemakers Soiree is an inspirational and fun evening that brings women together to empower and uplift each other through the stories of local non-profits and women who are true Changemakers in the local communtiy and world at large.

The inspiration for this event came after reading the book, "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity Worldwide" - a lifechanging read that highlights brave womens' personal stories of oppression and triumph, from around the world.

The distinguished Changemakers comprising our speaker panel include:

*Ayni Education International - builds schools for girls in Afghanistan

*YouthCare's Bridge Program - provides shelter and recovery for sex trafficked youth

*StirringTheFire.org - a global movement, led by local documentary filmmaker and photograher, Phil Borges, to raise awareness about the issues facing women and girls

Each will present TED style, having 15 minutes to enlighten you about their mission, successes, challenges and what you can do to become a Changemaker too!

The following local non-profits will also have informational tables at the event:

*Street Yoga
*Crooked Trails
*Richard's Rwanda
*SOLD the Movie & Movement
*One by One
*Washington Engage
*Ignite


Also included in the evening are:
*Wine and Vodka cocktails
*Dry Soda
*Cupcakes
*Fun door prizes & giveaways

(Girls 13+ are welcome, accompanied by an adult)
