An estimated half a million people descended on the nation's capital to participate in the Women's March on Washington on Saturday - and I was one of them.

And while the massive crowds made getting around the city quite challenging, the march itself was an inclusive and inspiring accomplishment. It's safe say that it met the goal that the organizers set: To "stand together in solidarity with our partners and children for the protection of our rights, our safety, our health, and our families."
