• December 2018
What happens when women support each other unconditionally? Join, Kim Drew Wright on her spoken word journey through “Women Will,” as she describes the highs and lows of founding a grassroots group, the Liberal Women of Chesterfield County & Beyond, which won political ground and gained international attention, while surviving her daughter’s on-set of PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) along with her own diagnosis of breast cancer. She gave her TEDxGraceStreetWomen talk during the last week of a 20-week chemotherapy treatment. Kim is an inspiring example of what showing up to support others looks like.

Many people have their own story of a hero’s journey. For Kim Drew Wright, author and activist, her’s started when she was compelled by her community to get involved after the 2016 election. As founder of a grassroots organization, Liberal Women of Chesterfield County & Beyond (LWCC), Wright focused on connecting and educating citizens to be active in their own governement. The LWCC organization has garnered national and international attention for Chesterfield County since its launch. Wright works tirelessly to support the LWCC, all while contending with her own personal and family challenges; her breast cancer diagnosis and her daughter’s diagnosis with Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS). As Wright would say, “we have to do what we have to do”– a mantra that helps keep her going through tough times.
