A message from Sally Lou:
Many of you were in attendance for my book launch in February of 2020. My SPEAK launch was held in this exact space and it was one of the most magnificent days of my life. Yes, writing a book was powerful. But what was more powerful for me was being in a room filled with phenomenally talented women who use their platform and work to make the world a better place.
We've taken a bit of a break from gathering due to a global pandemic. Many of us have come back stronger and wiser. I invite you to bring your post pandemic vibe on October 26th so we can make a bigger impact with our voices moving forward.
The three women speakers you will hear from use their powerful voices through action, service, speaking, and writing. I will moderate the conversation and the hope is you will be inspired to take action and speak up in your own way.
All attendees will receive my new curriculum The LOVESPEAKS Method™, because everyone deserves to speak without fear.
Clothilde Ewing's books will be available for sale and you will have an opportunity to make a donation to March Fourth in support of the phenomenal work they do. If you would like to make your donation prior to the event, please go to this link.
The March 4th Mission:
March Fourth is a one year old nonpartisan movement with one goal: a federal ban on assault weapons. In lieu of a ticket fee, we hope you will consider a donation of any size to March Fourth. You can make a donation prior to attending the event, or you will also have an opportunity to donate at the event.
