The BOSS Network's Influencers Event in Washington, DC!

Image
After months of planning and tweets about our Inspired by Influencers tour, we finally hit the road for our first event in Washington, DC this week. Held at the ultra fabulous L2 Lounge in the Cady's Alley area of Georgetown, we highlighted 10 "Influencers" from the DC Area who truly embodied a BOSS. Michelle Hargrove , founder of Restoration Wknd, played hostess for our Q&A sessions with our "Influencers" and keynote speaker, Valeisha Butterfield . Guests were able support their favorite honoree, network, receive free makeovers, and sip on our special "BOSStini." Everyone came looking their best! There was so much positivity and encouragement in the room and we just want to thank everyone for their attendance! We have to thank our awesome event planners, Jamilah and Lindsey of The Jalin Group , for all their hard work, the L2 Lounge for providing such a great location, DivasMPH for reminding us all to do our part in the fight against HIV/AID

On Tuesday, September 7, 2010, The BOSS Network embarked on the Inspired by Influencers Tour with a prelude to the Influencers event - the BOSS Business Brunch. Fifteen women joined us at the fabulous Private Stay by MadlyLiving Bed and Breakfast to dine, inspire, network, and share their stories. The owners of MadlyLiving spoke on health and wellness and following the path (or lack thereof) intended for you. Special guest speaker Tisa Silver shared a personal anecdote from her book, The Time Value of Life , to inspire women to get out and live TODAY. We hope that the women in attendance, and those who followed our tweets, were able to gain new perspectives and be encouraged in their journeys. "You can't do anything about the past, you don't know about the future...but right now is yours for the taking." -Tisa Silver
