In my current role, I have the unique opportunity to amplify the voices of our civil legal aid agencies in Philadelphia through fundraising and content promotion.

#WOW THE RIGHT PATH SERIES#
Whether solo or bringing a party of friends, World of Warcraft has epic quests and endless adventure awaiting for you.I’ve been profiling “Women Who Wow” all year long – it was supposed to be a series during Women’s History Month but then the world was derailed by the pandemic, and I know so many fantastic women, so I thought why not continue the series all year long?

There are also 10 allied races that can be selected, such as the Nightborne and Mechagnomes (added with the Battle for Azeroth expansion).Īfter selecting a race, choose from one of the 13 character classes, each with a unique play style and skill set that will fit different tastes.
