Held on International Women’s Day, this event showcased photographic portraits of women over the age of 40, challenging stereotypes and showcasing strength and resilience. Guests at the event enjoyed food and beverages while hearing stories from women about their experiences with beauty and aging. A portion of proceeds raised went towards Chattanooga Room in the Inn and its mission to empower women and children experiencing homelessness.
