“Roar: True Tales of Women Warriors” will feature personal stories, approximately 8 minutes in length, about the challenges of womanhood. We want stories across the spectrum: motherhood, sex, assault, pregnancy, workplace, marriage, etc. The goal of the event is to empower women to share stories of obstacles they have overcome and to help others understand the obstacles women still face, even in 2017.
