The Fierce 50 Campaign – Meet Carol Parker Walsh!
As we previously mentioned, Fashion Trends and Friends is PROUD to be participating in the first annual #Fierce50 campaign! The Fierce 50 are woman bloggers in their 50s have joined together to collaborate, and support each other today on the 50th day of the year – February 19th. The intent of the campaign to is to show the world who we are and that the 50 we are experiencing is not the 50 we saw when we were growing up. It’s a powerful time in a woman’s life. It’s an amazing time of personal freedom, empowerment and strength. The Fierce 50 intend to wake up brands and designers and let them know that we are women with capital in our pockets. We deserve their attention and respect. We also come together to support, encourage and lift each other up. We’re not just about fashion, no we are thinking much bigger! We want to build a community of women that genuinely care about one another and want to change the world by working together for the greater good. We invite you to join us in this mission!
