Every parent wants their child to inherit a better world. For my daughter, I have desires and dreams.  Dreams that she experiences the realities of a glass ceiling because of a simulation conducted in a sociology class. I desire that she be paid fairly for her work instead of fighting twice as hard to earn 63 cents for every dollar her male friends make. I want her and her classmates to never know what period poverty is because our community has pulled together to eradicate that issue completely. Supporting this year's Little Black Dress Initiative helps us to uplift women in our area not just today but long after October is over.   You can donate here: https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/2020-little-black-dress-initiative/michellinehall ❤ Thank you so very much to  EVERYONE who has donated so far. I have been so touched by your generosity and support. Thank you to all of you that have liked and shared these posts! Through your interactions you are helping The Junior  League of Lynchburg in shedding light on #periodpoverty in our community.  #lbdijll2020 #lbdi #JLLynchburg #lovelyh #legendaryhalls #keziahjosette https://www.instagram.com/p/CGn7sNilh2v/?igshid=mx0wf4qv5y6o

There are challenges that come with being a female, but being worried about if you can afford or access feminine products should not be one of them. I am participating in the Fifth-Annual Little Black Dress Initiative- a fundraising campaign spearheaded by the Junior League of Lynchburg. Through this event, we aim to change the cycle and bring awareness to women in poverty and period poverty. Our goal is to raise at least $8,000 in support of the YWCA, Johnsons Health Center, and the JLL. I will raise funds while wearing one black dress (or black attire) every day throughout the week of October 19-23; my hope is that this black dress prompts conversation and awareness. Please consider donating to my campaign. Every little bit helps and I wholeheartedly believe in this project.  The link to donate is found below. Thanks in Advance! https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/2020-little-black-dress-initiative/michellinehall #jllynchburg #LBDIJLL2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGicym2lJQh/?igshid=10msv95ghybf5
