We Do It Together, a non-profit organization focusing on women’s empowerment, will host a “Tell it Like a Woman” screening at the United Nations Headquarters in the U.N. General Assembly Hall Mar. 6 in New York.

The film is inspired by the true story of Kim Carter. It features a “Pepcy and Kim” segment played by Jennifer Hudson and Pauletta Washington.

After finding herself immersed in a life filled with adversity, bumps, and curves, Kim (formerly known as Pepcy) went from enduring a troubled childhood, drug use, incarceration, and bouts of homelessness to a life of advocacy, a pardon from the Governor of California, a successful foundation, and several awards, including becoming a CNN Hero.

“This moment is surreal to me, but at the same time, I know it's for a greater purpose that's way bigger than Kim. The stories being told will impact so many women across the globe, and I'm beyond grateful and humbled God saw fit to use me.” Kim Carter, ambassador and CEO of the Center for Housing Advancement & Motivational Projects (CHAMP), whose clients range from government agencies, medical professionals, law enforcement, and other nonprofits.

CHAMP builds affordable housing for low-income communities, a statement reads.
