About this challenge
This Challenge is dedicated to all the strong women in our lives. To all the ladies who have given us life, kept us inspired, and motivate us to rise above every single day, we want to recognize and thank you.
As we continue to celebrate International Women's Month, let's uplift powerful women and their stories. Join the Sister Circle Challenge by composing an open letter addressed to the strongest woman you know. Whether your letter is a heart-to-heart to your mom, a token of appreciation to someone you don't know personally, or a letter of encouragement to your badass best friend, let them know how much they've impacted your life. We encourage you to include images, videos, and other keepsakes that bond you and the special leading lady in your life. But most importantly, remind her of how much of a boss she truly is!

Unexpected Uncovering Challenge Winners
This Challenge inspired some incredibly inventive unexpected uncoverings! And we know this is no simple feat as it's never easy to destabilize a relationship in a fresh and new way. From serious illnesses to serial killers on the weekends to silly little traits that grow to become impossible to ignore, we never knew there were so many ways to be surprised by a partner.

At Vocal, we're always going on and on about the freedoms of limitation and how walls and decisions and editing make great art. But sometimes you just need to let your creative hair down, throw some paint at the wall. This was one of our more open prompts, free for interpretation, few limits, just give us a poem, a sense of the senses.

What a unique Challenge, to write a poem in letter form. This brilliant idea was inspired by Korina Camel from our Shape the Future of Vocal session!
