Chhaya Rowan, Board Member of Eagle Theatre, Inc., will host the panel discussion, "Art is an outlet in which expressing yourself is key. Facebook Live, along with our New Works Development Series, will provide a bright spotlight for the women of our community to share their empowering stories of success as a modern day business builder."
