Day 3: Entrepreneurship

Starting a business is more than making money, it’s about turning your ideas into something real and helping others. Entrepreneurs create jobs and new products. It’s not easy as there are challenges like money, risk, and competition – but it can be worth it. It gives you freedom, creativity, and a chance to succeed.

Day 2: Hair

Hair is a powerful expression of identity, culture, and beliefs. For many, it reflects heritage, from African braids to Indigenous long hair, each style carrying deep meaning. Despite this, hair discrimination persists, with some facing judgment or exclusion for wearing natural or cultural styles. Everyone deserves the freedom to choose their hair without prejudice.

Day 1: Abortion Access

Abortion is legal in Spokane, but access is hindered by cost, travel, and confusing laws. Marginalized groups face the most barriers. Local resources like Planned Parenthood help, but more support is needed.
