Everyday we decide what shoes to wear - flats, heels, sneakers, boots, slippers, mules .... the choices are endless. Sometimes our selection is dictated by our mood and who we want to channel for the day; many times we are influenced by the day's events - work, a special presentation, an after-work event, bad weather. Regardless, we have a choice. 

This is not the case for women incarcerated in prisons and jails. They wear one, and only one, type of shoe everyday. They have no choices. They are defined by the shoes they wear. But, they never give up on their dreams of wearing different shoes one day.

Two socially-committed nonprofit organizations have come together to premiere IN HER SHOES – a film that tells the story of women serving time at the Dallas County Jail; reflecting on their lives through the shoes they have worn, currently wear (in jail), and those they wish to wear once released.

And, to make things fun, we ask that you wear a favorite pair of shoes that tells a story about you! The possibilities are endless!!!!!

See you on April 21st!
