On Thursday, September 25, 2025, I had the honor of being recognized once again by Schneps Media — this time as a member of the Brooklyn Power List 2025. This special evening, held at El Caribe Country Club & Caterers in Brooklyn, was an evening filled with celebration, connection, and reflection.
Honored as an Icon
This recognition carried a special meaning for me. Having been honored just last year as a member of the 2024 Power Women of Brooklyn cohort, returning to the stage as an Icon felt both humbling and inspiring. It reminded me that leadership and impact are not achieved alone but are shaped by the people, organizations, and communities that walk alongside us.
Surrounded By Community
I was especially grateful to be surrounded by an extraordinary group of women who joined me for the evening: Lisa Jacobs, Donna Howard, Patricia Draghine, Chivaughn Clarke, Kesha Johnson, Kesha Harmon, and Ann-Marie Grant, along with Pamela Harmon, who attended though not pictured in our group photo. This group photo from the evening captured not only our presence, but also the shared spirit of support and friendship that made the night unforgettable.
True Power Creates Pathways
Once again, Event Strategies For Success was proud to sponsor this inspiring celebration. At ESFS, we believe that true power creates pathways. For more than three decades, our work has been about building legacies and strategies that move missions forward. The future of Brooklyn’s power lies in how we align influence with purpose — and this evening was a beautiful reminder of that truth.
