| YWCA Greater Cincinnati Career Women of Achievement |
The YWCA Greater Cincinnati honored eight Career Women of Achievement
and two Scholars on Wednesday May 11th at the Duke Energy Convention
Center. This is the 37th year for this event and the YWCA has now honored
298 Greater Cincinnati Career Women.
Keynote speaker Zainab Salbi, an Iraqi-American author, women's rights
activist, humanitarian and media commentator was the keynote speaker for
the record crowd of nearly 2,200 attendees. Prior to the luncheon, guests
enjoyed networking at the Pre-Event mixer, which also featured YWCA
Program Booths and a book signing by Salbi.
This is the Midwest region's biggest luncheon and the agency's largest
annual fundraiser. Zainab Salbi's message was personal and honest and fit
perfectly with this year's luncheon theme: "Courage To Change". She
challenged the audience to speak their own truth and from there true
change can begin. Change within one's self, and within our community, and
world. “The journey of truth might be hell, but the taste of freedom is so
delicious that it’s worth it to go through the journey again and again,” she
said.
