Today women gathered together via social media using the hashtag #WLWomensMarch and #WomensMarch to explore the role of minority women in building a broader women’s rights agenda. Special invited guests included: Waikinya Clanton, National Executive Director of NOBEL Women and Power of the P.U.M.P; Janaye Ingram, Director of Logistics for the Women’s March on Washington and Natalie Cofield, CEO and Founder of Walker’s Legacy & Walker’s Legacy Foundation.

Women can make their voices heard by being IN the game, continuing to be FIRSTS and not letting anything stop them #WLWomensMarch

Black women should continue to flex their political muscle through engagement and advocacy. Elected officials rep all people. #WLWomensMarch

@walkerslegacy @ncofield matters of respect. I think there is now this idea of "oh, so you want to be equal–hold your own door." No.
