Thursday, October 9 at 6:30 PM, join us at the Museum for a special Boardwalk Talk by Carrie Sue Ayvar celebrating women’s’ history in Florida!
Though not always in the history books, the women who helped build, form, shape, and develop the state have inspired hope and possibility. This presentation highlights stories of strong, courageous women like Julia Tuttle, known as the Mother of Miami, or Mary McLeod Bethune, daughter of enslaved parents who went on to become an advisor to several US presidents, and other brave women who influenced and impacted their communities, Florida, and the nation. Discover and rediscover some of the women who grew and shaped the state!
An internationally celebrated storyteller, teaching artist, and Chautauqua scholar, Carrie Sue Ayvar is the recipient of multiple awards for service, leadership, and dedication to the art of storytelling and education. Her bilingual blend of traditional, historical, and personal tales connects the people, languages, and cultures of Florida.
The Boardwalk Talk is free to Museum members with a suggested $5 donation for non-members. Because seating space is limited, registration is required. Register at https://www.beachesmuseum.org/events/boardwalk-talk-more-than-orange-blossoms-feisty-fabulous-females-of-florida/
