Taped Streaming of WIT Women's Film Festival & Panel Discussion Event
March 13, 2021 @ 2:00PM — 4:00PM Central Time (US & Canada)
In honor of International Day of the Woman, the youth of Women in Training, Inc. are hosting a film festival and panel discussion to inspire BIPOC girls to become involved in the electoral process at an early age. We will stream the March 6th event at the Capri Theatre a week later on March 13, 2021. This way, friends all over the world can virtually participate in the event!
Join the girls and young women in the WIT Leadership Development Circle and WIT Rites-of-Passage Circle as they watch inspiring films and engage in discussion with some of Alabama's top women elected officials and policy makers. Breanna and Brooke Bennett, the 13-year-old founders of Women in Training, Inc. are convinced that period poverty has to be tackled on multiple levels, including the monthly distribution of free period products, advocating for appropriate legislation and educating girls to become culturally competent global leaders.
