The Women of Inspiration Awards Gala was magical and indeed inspiring!
Michael Burns CEO of Canada’s Valour Games and Monica Kretschmer, CEO of Universal Womens Network were terrific co-hosts.
The evening started with a youth-choreographed dance routine by Hannah Isenberg. They were energetic and vibrant and brought up the energy in the room.
A real special treat for the evening was to be serenaded by Youth Inspirational Award Winner Roberta Battaglia who graced the stage with her angelic voice, proving why she received the Golden Buzzer on AGT.
Moreover, Duane D.O. Gibson, a two-time world record-setting rapper worked his magic as he created an on-the-spot rap specially created for the Women of Inspiration Awards.
The highlight of the evening was an intimate chat with Bobbi Brown and her husband Steven. They talked about the early days of their business and how they managed their working relationship for the past decades. It was an authentic and inspirational conversation between two business moguls. We felt honored to get a peak into these iconic business minds and picked up a few nuggets of inspiration!
Bobbi said on Thursday night that the world around her inspires her and she values walking in her off time. On these walks, she says she clears her mind and is open to creativity. The inspiration for naming her new company Jones Road Beauty struck when she was outdoors and stumbled upon Jones Road. Loving the name, she decided to use it, and thus the new company was born.
The organization will celebrate the nominations for the Tenth 2024 Women of Inspiration Award in the fall of 2024. Stay tuned for more details.
