Recap: A Toast to the Change makers

We kicked off the new year with a celebration at Officina in Washington, D.C. ! We spent the afternoon celebrating women at the forefront of change in their communities, careers, and businesses. A toast to the change-makers seeks to build community and help remove barriers for women of color to maximize their full potential through opportunity and collaboration.
