On Sept. 29, Cary Magazine honored five local women who have worked hard to better our community: Tamani Anderson Powell, Dr. Rebecca Kitzmiller, Patsy Johnson, Sheri Erhart, and Leslie Covington. To celebrate their achievements, the 2023 Women of Western Wake Forum was held at The Umstead Hotel & Spa — featuring a keynote breakfast session, workshops, networking opportunities, and a luncheon and honoree panel. In case you missed it, chief photographer Jonathan Fredin was on-site to capture every empowering moment.
