Sunny Hostin, Laura Kim, and Brandon Maxwell champion the trailblazing women of Dress for Success
NEW YORK, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Dress for Success Worldwide, the leading global nonprofit employment resource for women, today launched its largest annual campaign, Your Hour, Her Power, to celebrate Women’s History Month in the United States and International Women’s Day around the world.
For the first time in the history of the campaign, this year Your Hour, Her Power honors 31 trailblazing women served by the Dress for Success network of 139 affiliates across 22 countries. This outstanding group of women reflects Dress for Success’s global footprint.
Each Honoree will be celebrated on her unique day in March and spotlighted on the campaign microsite, yourhourherpower.org. They will share their stories of determination, perseverance, and finding the courage and confidence to create better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.
