Truly Amazing Women, LLC, is an organization that honors, connects, and promotes the women who are making strides and changing lives. What makes a woman truly amazing? That’s the question I have been excited to answer since April 18, 2008—the day this big idea was born. Having been a journalist since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986, I have written hundreds of articles about the fabulous work women do every day as they juggle careers and finances, family and responsibility to their community—and try to hold onto a little something for themselves. Inspiration to create this project came the day I attended a luncheon hosted by the influential Jewish DC organization, Aura. We listened to words of wisdom from Fran Drescher, Hadassah Lieberman, and Holocaust survivor Nesse Godin. Later, I attended a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton where nearly 100 women gathered to help elect the first female president. As I sat sipping my coffee the next morning with my husband, illustrator Michael Gibbs, I told him that I felt compelled to do something to honor all of the women who work so hard, yet often go unnoticed. He smiled a knowing grin and said, “You know you are going to have to write a book about this.” We clinked our mugs together, and got to work. I invite you to join us on this journey.
