BRIEF RECAP: Leading the WELCOME into the 14th Annual Exceptional Women of Color (EWOC) Awards & Expo on Sept 20th at the DoubleTree Hotel was the Mistress of Ceremonies (MC/Host) – our star actress Neketia Henry who curated EWOC throughout the evening with intros and with our Keynote Conversation with Ms. KiKi Ayers – CEO & Founder of Ayers Publicity. Several individuals graced our stage at EWOC that included Pastor Tecoy Porter who blessed us with his message and prayer blessing. Dr. Ramona Bishop (President/CEO of Elite Public Schools) presented a special report on the state of education in our communities. Opening the EWOC program there was a profound spoken word presentation on “What makes an Exceptional Woman of Color” by EWOC 2022 Honoree – Patrice Hill (Executive Director for Sacramento Area Youth Speaks (SAYS). And then there were the unforgettable remarks by each EWOC Honoree (a total of 16) who were presented with the 2022 EWOC Excellence Awards and our Y-EWOC scholarship recipients.
