Happy International Women's Day! And to commemorate this beautiful day of warm weather and awesome women, here are some pictures from the EMILY's List 30th Anniversary!
In order: Senator Elizabeth Warren, selfie with Senator Amy Klobuchar and an intern, Congresswoman Alma Adams (the 100th woman elected to Congress!), Uzo Aduba of Orange Is the New Black, Day 2 Gala view (over 1600 people in one room!), America Ferrera, Senator Barbara Mikulski raisin' the roof, Hillary Clinton with EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock, and more Hillary!
What an amazing two days. From informative panels about a variety of topics such as feminism and the media, the 2016 elections, and redistricting, to seeing some inspirational women politicians talk not only about their work but also their path to success--I was in awe. According to staff and members who have been coming to these events year after year, this was the best conference/gala ever organized by EMILY's List! I feel so lucky to have been a part of it. Plus, we were all over the news! Here are some links, from TIME to MSNBC to one of my personal favorites, Jezebel.com (I HIGHLY recommend watching Boston City Councillor Ayanna Pressley's speech--it moved me to tears).
After that whirlwind of a two days, the rest of the week went by pretty quickly with one snow day and a two-hour delay on Friday. Let's just say DC isn't as prepared as I assumed it would be when it comes to snow. No complaints here though! Time away from work has been filled with furniture research and fun home shopping! Going to World Market yesterday was a struggle because I wanted to buy ALL THE THINGS. Seriously, World Market knows what I like. Slowly but surely, my little studio is feeling more like a home--my kitchen is well-stocked, I've bought some colorful decoration pieces and rugs, and I have furniture coming in this week! I cannot wait to sleep on a real bed; this air mattress is not the greatest, but I only have to hold out a few days more!
I'll sign off quickly with this picture of the entrance to DC's Chinatown! I did a little exploring in the area today, and I had to fight the temptation to go to each bakery and restaurant to sample goodies.
