"I loved meeting trailblazers, changemakers, and remarkable women dedicated to their mission, and making a difference in the world. Being surrounded by these women was like a green light from the Universe, that I was on the right path, and it felt blissful. I also loved celebrating all of these amazing women for their achievements and dedication to their purpose. It was an emotional night helping all of us to feel inspired, uplifted, and celebrated."
