This year's panelists include Patrick L. Riley (Journalist and Author of That's What Friends Are For: On The Women Who Inspired Me), Smax Music (Artist and Entrepreneur), and Charlie A. Vargas (Attorney and Professor). The annual event is aimed at raising awareness in the women empowerment movement.
