Program Description: Join women from around greater Raleigh for an unforgettable afternoon as we delve into remarkable stories of resilience, creativity, and strength in "She Wouldn’t Take Her Boots Off," the inaugural event of "Power of the Purse."
Victoria Milstein, the sculptor behind the poignant monument, "She Wouldn’t Take Her Boots Off," at NC’s Women’s Memorial Holocaust Monument in Greensboro, NC, will be our keynote speaker. She is an incredible women and dynamic speaker.
