A running feature for eight years, The ‘Ladybrille Woman of the Month’celebrates women who empower themselves and others through their contributions and actions in their local and international communities. These women are intelligent, courageous, confident, and innovative. They strive for balance in their personal lives (whether emotionally, mentally, and spiritually), are persistent, and when they fall, they get right back up. These women honor and stand in their truths. They are business and community leaders, visionaries, trailblazers and game changers. They are our sisters, aunties, mothers, friends and so much more. They are “Ladybrille” (brilliant) women. In 2014, the Ladybrille Woman feature expanded to include a podcast show, ‘The Ladybrille Woman Podcast’ Show also periodically extends to Ladybrille men in a special feature.
