Hundreds of formally-frocked folks gathered at Martin’s West to celebrate and support Black Girls Vote, a nonpartisan nonprofit that works to inspire and empower Black women to use the political process to improve their lives and those of their family and community. The evening began with a VIP reception where many of BGV supporters had a chance to catch up before the main event began. Every guest was required to show proof of vaccination to attend the party.
