“There are many challenges that we as women face, and I have the utmost confidence our continued work will move the needle to a new and better normal where equity and equality are a given,” said Leah King, President and CEO of United Way of Tarrant County and founding member of Women United. “What an honor it is to have Dr. Trent-Adams speak to issues facing women in healthcare and uplift local organizations working to create positive change for women and girls in Tarrant County.”
