DNC Hits Home!

While gone, I had the opportunity to visit Denver during this week's historic convention. My firm and I produced an event, Celebrating Democratic Women, that was held at the Doubletree Denver on Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Ironically, August 26 happened to be the 31st anniversary of Women's Equality day, declared by President Carter in 1977. This also happened to be the 88th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote with the passing of the 19th amendment in 1920.

The event was fabulous, if I must say so myself. The guests included the honoree, Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, President Carter and number of their family members, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lowery, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Luther King III, Dr. Dorothy Height, Mayor Shirley Franklin, Mrs. Valerie Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Ambassador Andrew Young, and many other influential history makers.

To be involved in such an event that was emceed by Trumpet Awards Founder, Xernona Clayton, was more than a privilege. And the fact that it was women's equality day was mind blowing, especially once Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton took the podium Tuesday night. Even though she has officially turned over her delegates to Senator Obama, Mrs. Clinton has truelly inspired millions of women and girls around the country and the world.

And what about Mrs. Obama? She couldn't have been more poised and beautiful on Monday night. She did her part in framing her husband as the man for the job in 2009. Michelle is great!

With all of the wonderful strides that women and blacks are continuing to make, we can't let these accomplishments fall by the wayside.

Today and Tomorrow, if you don't remember anything else, please remember....We can do anything we set our minds to and that's nothing but the truth. It's time we all started living our dreams!
