Hope4Veterans hosts an inspiring event at The Waterworks on Sunday, June 9th from 2-5 PM that celebrates the resilience and achievements of women veterans. Sponsored by the St. Johns Cultural Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, this event promises an afternoon of empowerment and entertainment.

The schedule for the event is packed with activities that showcase the strength and diversity of women who have served in the military. From 2-2:30 PM, the “She Served” exhibit will display the stories of 20 incredible women veterans, highlighting their dedication and contributions.

At 2:30 PM, the stage will come alive with “Single Black Female in Navy,” a theatre/play written and performed by Kim Mullins. This powerful performance explores the unique journey of a single black female serving in the Navy and promises to captivate the audience.  (This content contains scenes related to a brief sexual assault which may be distressing or triggering for some individuals)
