Originally slated for earlier this year but postponed due to the magnitude of these unprecedented times, the creators of SSF will transfer the creativity and collaboration of their showcase online.

The virtual realm now gives them the ability to share this thought-provoking program on a global scale. This year’s theme celebrates the Woman’s Right To Vote and highlights the commemoration of the 19th Amendment.
