International Women's Day Workshop

In honor of International Women’s Day, She Beasts organized a transformative movement workshop for 16 women at Drake Hall Prison. This initiative was designed not only to celebrate the strength and resilience of women but also to foster personal growth and empowerment within the prison community.

Led by She Beasts and supported by the prison staff, the workshop provided:

• A Safe Space: Participants explored movement and creativity in a supportive environment.
• Personal Growth: Exercises and activities were tailored to their unique needs and abilities.
• Empowerment: The women left feeling uplifted, motivated, and inspired to embark on journeys of self-discovery and transformation.

This workshop wasn’t just a one-time event but a stepping stone toward ongoing support for the women of Drake Hall. It reminded participants that, regardless of their circumstances, every woman has the power to rewrite her story and create a brighter future.
