Kick off Women's History Month by joining us for our second TEDxPhiladelphiaSalon of 2019, themed Girls Run the World, on Monday, March 4th at World Cafe Live from 5:30-9:00pm, with our talks starting at 6:30pm.

Celebrate, explore, and unpack how “Girls Run The World” with a screening of a past TED talk on women empowerment and a LIVE talk from Marcella Hudson, co-founder and program director of beGirl World, a Philadelphia based non-profit organization that empowers teenage girls through global education and travel.
