The WOEM Awards: Women Of Empowerment

 

In how many instances are women recognized for what we contribute to the work place, organizations,  the community, or the world in general? Slim to none, right? Those accolades are mostly reserved for men of distinction; well it's time to give it up for the LADIES! 

The WOEM Fashion Show And Awards:

On February 14, I was invited and received an award from the Women Of Empowerment or The WOEM; hosted by Harlemvetz entertainment/ WOEM PROJECT at The National Black Theater in Harlem, NY.

The WOEM is dedicated to the uplifting, educating, and honoring women from all walks of life, and it was my honor and privilege to among their distinguished honorees. 

Celebrating with women of distinction, other honorees included 

Celebrity honorees MC Sha Rock and Roxanne Shante and celebrity hosts Ms. Toi and K.O.V.E. Listing to these women speak about their lives and experiences I felt the impact of their sacrifice for their craft, and respect for the jewels they were dropping on a new generation of young entrepreneurial women who were walking in their footsteps.

They just didn't drop knowledge on the audience members, they also showed us another side of empowerment through the talented artists that were on deck throughout the event. 

Among the performers include female rappers/groups, musical performances, dance performances, singers, and a special premier of 24 Hour CATWALK from designer JustRaymona Envnewyork. 

Not every event is perfect, and there were some unanticipated snafu's throughout the night, but not enough to dull the light that was shining on the honorees, performers, and all the people who worked behind the scenes that made it possible for the show to come together.

Attending an event such as this was a very proud moment for me, and I can't wait to see what's planned for next years fashion and award show!

P.H.A.T. In The City Meet & Greet Networking Event

Hi Beautiful People! Today I share my experience I had at an networking event in NYC held at Fashion 40 Lounge hosted by Thick Madams Inc & Plump Goddesses. Coming together in a first time collaboration, members from both parties traveled from as far away as Chicago to New York in order to build strong relationships and connections with each other to further endorse plus size business people, companies, artists, designers, photographers and of course BLOGGERS!

I had so much fun at this event! Usually, I might have been a bit nervous in a room full of strangers; and it can be hard to go up to someone and introduce yourself and brand over and over again. At this event I didn't feel that way at all, I was totally comfortable and I felt like I was in a room with old friends rather than new faces; that's how welcome I felt. I do a lot of networking that is done through social media or attending fashion shows; this is the first event I've attended that it's only purpose was to network within the plus size fashion industry. Present at this event were people from diverse backgrounds of the full figured fashion industry ready to make connections, and expand business ventures. I felt camaraderie around people who are in the same business as myself, and I invite anyone who has never attended a networking event to do so, as an independent  business owner it will be one of the best
decisions you can make.

The ladies of Thick Madams Inc & Plump Goddesses has done a remarkable job setting the bar high, while bringing together people that can connect with each other and grow business together to reach a common goal of bringing attention and notoriety to the plus size industry. People involved in this industry are not just business people, but also consumers; we each know what is lacking in the fashion world concerning the fuller bodies of men and women. This event is the first step in building stronger relationships with each other, I for one cannot wait for the next step to take root and grow.
