“The Empowerment Project” is coming to our community on Friday March 13th, 2015. The movie follows 5 female filmmakers as they travel across the country to showcase women and their passions.
Their journey shares with us role models of ordinary women doing extraordinary things and a message of empowerment to realize what is possible when you are not afraid to fail.
