The Wake Young Women’s Leadership Academy (WYWLA), located in Raleigh, North Carolina, has hosted two movie screenings in front of students, one via a LIVE Zoom event and another in a school venue. Pioneers in Skirts proved to have a long-term impact as a catalyst for conversations with students about awareness and opportunities.
WYWLA educators, Sharon Cuffee and Frank Reed, will share their experiences of how the film helped their students self-reflect about their own lives, careers, and how they feel about the topics in the film.
