Emerge Events, 5x2 Marketing, the Pine Belt Women's Expo, and the Historic Hattiesburg Downtown Association are partnering to celebrate Women's HERstory Month! 

Women's History Month is designed to celebrate the resilience and achievements of women in history. We believe that women in Hattiesburg and surrounding regions are making history every day. 

We want to celebrate our local women of TODAY, who are overcoming, achieving, and making a difference each and every day, mostly unseen, unnoticed, and often taken for granted. 

We want to hear your story and the stories of women you know! Stories of resilience, overcoming, and perseverance. Stories of achievement, success, and joy. Stories of the everyday, of showing up day after day, doing the mundane, unseen work of life. Stories of struggle, sadness, and loss. 

Tell YourStory, tell HerStory. Celebrating Women's HERstory for Women's History Month.
