“Use the power of storytelling because we all have a process and even in the mud, even in the ugly of the story, there is an opportunity to hope for the future and an example of our resilience.”
Watch Tamika D. Otis keynote address! This year’s Women’s History Month celebrates women who are making a difference and paving the way for others to follow in their footsteps.
