Photo Gallery: Girls to the Front 2023

District Fray partnered with Shop Made in D.C.’s SHE:DC initiative to put on Girls to the Front at La Cosecha, an event celebrating the incredible women making a significant difference in D.C.’s creative scene. Tortillas were pressed at a Las Gemelas cooking class, drinks were poured at a Serenata cocktail tutorial and an all-women artist pop-up market curated by Congress Heights Arts & Culture Center (CHACC) lined the Latin marketplace’s main area. To wrap up the night, a panel moderated by COO + co-founder of Immigrant Food, Tea Ivanovic, featured artist Holly Bass; CHACC Founder + Executive Director Keyonna Jones; photographer Farrah Skeiky; Destino, Taqueria Las Gemelas and Ghostburger co-founder Kelly White Phillips; 101 Hospitality Corporate Beverage Director Judy Elahi and Charismatic Creations Owner Chrissy Sheffey. Over the course of the discussion, the panelists covered navigating being a woman in business while also celebrating and uplifting all they do to make the District a stronger, more creative place.
