The other night I had the honor of attending the 2016 Gracie awards as a guest of my uber talented inspirational friend Jessica A. As long as I've known her she has always been busy working her butt off on different projects. Oh, did I mention she has her own show she Executive produced on Oxygen network called "Douglas Family Gold" about Gabby Douglas's journey to the 2016 olympics. You guys should really check it out it's pretty amazing.
Honestly I had never heard of the Gracie awards until this night and as a woman I feel kind of embarrassed to admit that.
The desserts were too pretty to eat
But I know I can't be the only one so for those of you that don't know what they are either... the Gracies are awards that recognize exemplary programming created by women, for women and about women in all facets of media and entertainment. The alliance for women in media "focus on and acknowledge women who are making positive change and further the discussion of what fulfilling a career in the media looks like" In other words we Rock!
Myself and Jessica being schmoozy

We originally went to scope out the competition and see what it was all about maybe even meet some people to collaborate on future projects with but we left there feeling empowered and inspired. It was awesome seeing and being around such successful and influential people and also seeing all the new projects in the works and programming being made by such talented females. Kind of makes me feel like I have been slacking a bit.... Come on guys tone it down! No, I'm just kidding keep it up💜
