A special networking event is being held this evening to celebrate the power of women in Chatham-Kent.
Co-organizer Stephanie Simmons says “Unstoppable” is a joint effort between Women United Chatham-Kent, The Co, and her own company, Freely Co., to mark International Women’s Day.
“We’re so excited to bring together the community of Chatham-Kent and take an opportunity to celebrate us as women and all that we have done, all that we still have to do, and take some time to acknowledge all of that.”
Simmons says as women, it’s important to continue to celebrate each other’s successes and help lift one another up.
“Let’s face it, women still face challenges, barriers to equality, and I think it’s important that we keep our focus strong and stand on the shoulders of people who came before us who have championed this cause for so long. It’s not over, we still do need to keep working.”
Tonight’s Unstoppable event includes three surprise guest speakers, who will be announced this evening.
Donations are being accepted to help support the Chatham-Kent Women’s Centre.
The sold-out event runs from 5 until 8 tonight at the Sons of Kent.
