  • Meet March 28th's Winner, Gabriella R. Chaney!!

    "I've been at my job nearing 2 years and made sure to strive my hardest to be good at what I do. I managed to move up twice already and currently employed in the Finance Department. When Bryant and Stratton failed me after graduation,I found an employer that was willing to give me a chance. Lately when bills seem to pile up all I focus on is making sure they are paid. Sometimes I forget to take a moment and treat myself. I need a little reminder to do so."

  • Meet February 14th's Winner, Camisha Houston!!

  • Meet February 7th's Winner, Kelly A. Moskal!!

    Kelly has a lot on her plate, but somehow she manages it all! "Two words...teenager & toddler...lol...now pair that with working in a demanding environment full time and studying to obtain my insurance license and I would say that equals up to hard work...with a lot of dedication. While I do what thousands of other women (and men) do everyday it doesn't make it any less difficult at times. Breaks are far and few between but the rewards are definitely worth it. I think as parents we become so involved with bettering ourselves, our situations, and our environments for our children that we tend to forget that we still need nurturing also and I am definitely guilty of that. So while I do what many others do to make sure me and mine are ok that doesn't mean I don't deserve recognition for being the best me I can be for my kids. The hard work is 24/7...work, studying, working with my kids, maintaining a household, worrying about money, etc etc et c...but sometimes you don't need an S on your chest to know what a Superwoman you are."

Jackie Knowles, my mom, started in her early years as a bartender raising three children in her early 20's...from then she owned her own hair salon and would spend numerous hours working to make the community look and feel good. If you had a jerry curl then you went to my mom's!

She has given me the best example of how a great woman is suppose to handle her business. If she isn't the hardest working woman, I really don't know who is. Jacqueline Knowles is the hardest working woman I know!!!!" We salute you Ms. Knowles, you are AMAZING!!
