“My Voice My Story” display is presented by Texas Women’s Foundation (TWF) at Dallas Galleria Sept. 4-30. TWF has been a leading driver of meaningful social and economic change for women, girls and families in Texas since its founding in 1989. The nonprofit is partnering with Galleria Dallas and the Dallas Mavericks with the display.

TWF President and CEO Roslyn Dawson Thompson said, “The interactive exhibit highlights how we can use our voices and our stories to build community. Its colorful display features icons of communications, including a megaphone and picket sign, that are designed to encourage guests to take selfies, and share their stories using the hashtag #myvoicemystory.”

Everyone sharing that hashtag is entered in a drawing for a chance to win a signed jersey by Dallas Maverick All Star Luka Dončić. Guests also have an opportunity to register for Texas Women’s Foundation’s 36th Annual Luncheon, presented by the Dallas Mavericks. The luncheon is being held virtually at 12 noon on Sept. 30.

The conversation is moderated by Laysha Ward, executive vice president and chief external engagement officer of Target, the Luncheon’s speaker sponsor.

Partnerships such as this one with Galleria Dallas and the Dallas Mavericks are important to us as we engage the community and reach out to improve inclusiveness in North Texas.”
