💪 Nevertheless, She Persisted: When giving up wasn’t an option
Ever had one of those moments where quitting would’ve been easier? We all have. But sometimes the power is in getting back up, saying it out loud or laughing in the face of ‘no’. This show is about those moments. Six women, six decades, each sharing a story of persistence that will make you laugh, nod along and maybe even tear up.
If you’ve ever had to power through a ‘you can’t do that’ moment or kept going when the universe threw every obstacle your way, this night is for you. These stories will make you laugh at the setbacks, cheer for the comebacks and leave knowing persistence isn’t glamorous...but it’s how we change the game.
