Faces of Power to the Polls, the Las Vegas Women's March: 'Our voices are finally being heard'

Winter Minisee, 17, of Los Angeles, who is part of the Women’s March Youth Initiative, was inspired to get involved when she heard a co-founder of the march speak last year. It earned her a scholarship to the 2017 Women’s Convention. “Now I do outreach and give out Empower tool kits to other youth,” she tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “Some of my peers are involved in the Women’s March, but I’m the only one on an actual outreach team.” (Photo: Ronda Churchill for Yahoo Lifestyle)
