Our SwatchRoom Salon this past weekend was such a success! We are so thankful for everyone who came to Hierarchy over the weekend, all the artists and designers, DJs, dancers, and ArtSee for curating all 3 days of shows. A special thank you goes to Maryam Montague for making the trip to DC from Morocco, attending our Salon, and introducing Project SOAR during our Sunday brunch.

[Maggie O'Neill introducing Maryam Montague]

In a recent trip to Morocco, SwatchRoom and friends visited Maryam at her home (Peacock Pavilions), where we spent 2 Sundays with the girls of Project SOAR. We worked with the girls to decorate a creative space for the girls to spend time in each Sunday. It goes without saying that we had an amazing, emotional, and inspiring time with the girls. And so part of the proceeds of all sales during the Salon benefitted Project SOAR... Want to know more about Project SOAR? Keep reading:

Project SOAR's quest is "to bring bright moments to those who live in the Moroccan village Douar Laadem. Located just outside Marrakesh, Morocco, it started simply enough. We hosted workshops filled with art, sports, and music for the less privileged girls living around us. But soon enough we wondered, could we do more? Could we help our neighbors to grow and thrive? Could we help our whole village to SOAR a little higher?"

Watch this video for a more in-depth explanation of Project SOAR (and see the girls in action!).
