Last week, Powersโ€™ Managing Partner, Peter Thomas, and Associate, Hannah Hauer, attended a screening of "Stronger Than You Think" at the Washington West Film Festival, where they had the opportunity to meet Paralympic swimmer Ali Truwit.

After surviving a shark attack in 2023, Ali went on to win two silver medals at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Today, she uses her inspiring story of resilience to advocate for greater access to prosthetics through her nonprofit, Stronger Than You Think.

Thank you to So Every Body Can Move for the invitation and the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event!
