Women's March on Washington, DC 2017

In 2017, family and friends from across the country came to Washington, DC for the march. I thought it would be powerful to have a symbol to unify us. I offered to weave bracelets for everyone and asked what the design would be. And quickly we decided on the rainbow. It is now 2026.

I chose small rainbow baskets which can hold our hopes and dreams. The name for each basket is "Stronger Together."
