Sisterhood Session Summit(3/18/17)

The 3rd Annual Celebration of Women – Sisterhood Session Summit was FABULOUS! We definitely celebrated Sisterhood for Women’s History Month!

I am thankful that I was able to manifest such an intelligent and diverse panel. From our sophisticated seasoned panelist to our magnificent millennials.  Our panelist included:

1. Dr. Ann Hart – President of NAACP Maricopa
2. Adina  Howard – R&B Singer
3. Kianey Carter – Emmy Award Winning TV Producer
4. Kenja Hassan – Director of Community Relations at Arizona State University
5. Laura Pastor – Vice Mayor & Councilwoman – Phoenix
6. Angie Amarillas-Mortemore – Director Business Development
7. Collette Watson – Award-Winning Writer; Artist & Creative Director
8. Tamara Floyd – RWR Community Outreach Director

   Our conversation consisted of many topics that are very relatable to women such as Sisterhood: Are we creating barriers for ourselves in sisterhood? What Does Sisterhood Mean To You? Are we being looked over for jobs just because we are women with higher qualifications than our male counter parts? How has being in the music industry created a sisterhood? Women in politics – are we being taken seriously? Women who are the back-bones of their family creating a legacy of entrepreneurship. Women who are excelling in education. More women who have created and carved out their own paths of success. Economic Empowerment for Women.

   These we just a few of the sisterhood sessions that went on. We laughed and we even had a couple of women who shed a tear of empowerment. We not only feed our bodies with a great lunch and scrumptious desserts we fed our soul with a sisterhood connections; with words of encouragement.  When know when women REALLY COME together AUTHENTICALLY there is nothing or no one that can stop us from making our mark in our communities; in our states; in the country!
