This was the perfect way to end an incredible celebration of Moxie Women! Attendees were treated to motivational dialogue from some of the most influential women in Philadelphia including: Councilwman Blondell Reynolds Brown, radio personality Dyana Williams, PECO Executive Mellanie Lassiter, President of American Cities Foundation Sandra Dungee-Glenn and President/CEO of United Way Southestern Pa, Jill Michal. Luncheon attendees also had an opportunity to support the Love Yourself campaign, a campaign started by Radio Personality MoShay LaRen that is dedicated to healing and rescuing victims of domestic violence. This initiative was supported by poetry from incredible young people, some of whom had direct experience with abuse, and a musical performance by artist Claudette Ortiz (pictured above) formally of the singing trio "City High". Being a part of this event, especially during Women's History Month, reminded me of just how integral women are in the progression of society. Let's support and encourage the young women in our lives--the future of our Nation depends upon it!
In His service...
