Akron, OH. – The Women Supporting Women Empowerment movement is coming to Akron’s Hardesty Park on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It’s all hands on deck. The women come from Ohio, and zip codes are not a factor. It’s an Empowerment Zone for women, supported by women, organized by women, and for all women.

Tara Mosley Weems is the movement’s founder. “I want a place where women can support each other and feel comfortable in their skin. I’ve reached out to women-owned businesses, women CEOs (nonprofit and for-profit), elected officials, and everyday women who don’t necessarily get the honor and credit they deserve,” says Mosley Weems. After her call for action to women across Ohio, Mosley Weems has over one hundred vendors, all women, and nineteen dynamic women speakers who will grace the stage to share strong messages with women across the region. “Although this is a woman-led event, our men are invited. We ask our men to stand with us today and support us and our efforts. We need them as much as they need us. We want them to show up,” Mosley Weems added.
