BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — As Women's History Month wraps up, two local elected officials took steps to celebrate and empower women across Western New York.
Buffalo Common Councilwoman Zeneta Everhart and Erie County Legislator Taisha St. Jean Tard hosted the first-ever LeadHERship Women's Expo on Saturday, an event designed to bring together women from all backgrounds to share inspiration, knowledge and mentorship.
The event highlighted the importance of creating spaces where women can learn from each other.
"Information is power, and that's what this is about," Everthart said. "We're bringing together women from all different walks of life, all career backgrounds, and all age ranges—because sharing knowledge and best practices is how we grow stronger together."
"We need to bring women from different backgrounds and education levels together," St. Jean Tard said. "And we need to make sure young people in the room have those mentorship opportunities."
The event, held at Gerard Place on Bailey Avenue, was a sold-out success, underscoring the strong demand for community-driven conversations about women's empowerment.
