March is Women’s History Month, and it is an excellent time to reflect, recognize and inspire women. With covid numbers down, it was great to be able to resume my annual Women’s Empowerment Luncheon with this year’s theme of: – See The Power in You, giving us the opportunity to reflect on the achievements of women.
Achievements such as:
American’s first female Vice President
Our first Black Haitian American Democrat United States Congresswoman
Not to mention, our first Black female Supreme Court Justice nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is from South Florida.
It was a pleasure to recognize State Representative Marie Woodson and Miramar Mermaids founder, Grasy Noriega, for the work that they are doing to impact the lives of other women. Our amazing guest speaker, Donna Brazile, was both entertaining and inspiring.
I also celebrated Women’s History Month during our commission meeting. The Haitian American Nurses Association (HANA) were given a proclamation in recognition of Women’s History Month and Miramar resident, Patricia Del Carmen Betancourt was given a proclamation for her years of efforts in recognizing International Women’s Day.
