I had this little idea to get some women in Charleston together to meet each other and support each other. To stand together in support of the #timesup movement.
We decided it would be awesome to have a photographer there to take photos of this. It also just so happened to be the anniversary of the Women's March so we were all powered up to support each other.
What a wonderful day it was and here are some of the amazingly fierce photos of this moment that Mary Beth Thomas of Mary Beth Creates captured.
