March 3, 2010: Women of Moxie Awards








































































MOXIE: The ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage;verve, fortitude, determination. The women honored at this ceremony and reception were from all walks of life, each with her own story of hark work and triumph. They each embodied the idea of MOXIE! The positive energy was palpable in the Conversation Room of City Hall as Councilwomen Blondell Reynolds Brown (pictured) offered the biographies of each of the honorees. It was surreal to be in the company of members of the Philadelphia City Council, Pennsylvania State delgates, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, judges, television/radio personalities, corporate CEOs and countless other incredible rising stars! I feel fortunate to have received a personal invitation to attend this awesome celebration of excellence--a celebration of MOXIE!
