A Celebration of Women, Words, and Legacy: Sue France’s Lasting Impact on Literary Lunches

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Sue France’s last literary lunch, and what an event it was! Sue, a previous SheInspires winner and a brilliant force within our community, orchestrated a gathering that was nothing short of inspiring.
