Last night on Wednesday February 19th, ASU Gammage held an event about women empowerment called Take the Lead. The event featured speakers from all over the country that were there to “inspire and propel women to step into their own power.”
People were also tuning in from 50 countries around the world through a live stream; and they could follow the event through Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #takeleadlaunch.
