THE WOMEN OF CHARLESTON

A roaring applause and a standing ovation greeted the women of Charleston. These women have all lost loved ones at the shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. It was a powerful moment seeing Nadine Collier, Polly Sheppard, Alana Simmons, and Felicia Sanders appear on stage not only proud, but also forgiving. "Hate won't win." - Alana Simmons "Forgiveness is powerful." - Nadine Collier "We all represent a different race, different orientation, or even a different class... But that does not give anyone the right to murder us... Thank you Glamour for honoring us everyday women..." - Alana Simmons "We forgive."
