9th Annual Madam C.J. Walker Business and Community Recognition and Awards Luncheon
Last week, I attended the 9th Annual Madam C.J.Walker Business and Community Recognition and Awards Luncheon on an invitation from our own Barbara Williams, President of the Oakland/Bay Area Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. Wow. What an afternoon of sound bites! Here are some that resonated with me : "There is no sky" - Barbara Williams, on the message to teenage girls on their potential to grow and flourish in their careers "Mama may not have been a who's who, but mama knows what's what!" - Dr. Julia Hare on the importance of the woman's role in stabilizing a family, and teaching the younger generation to respect its elders. " Leaving a community better than you found it" - Chief Debra Pryor on what women should strive for with any community we encounter And finally, "I got my start by giving myself a start" - Madam C.J.Walker (nee Sarah Breedlove, 1867-1919), the original female enterpreneur (www.madamcjwalker.com) Things we know, but can and should continue to strive for.. I love feeling inspired (even on a Monday). Posted at 11:45AM Apr 09, 2007 by kaaaamna in Of Note | Comments[7] |
