Houston is home to some extraordinary women, and many of them were in attendance at the Seventh Annual Top 30 Influential Women Awards, hosted by d-mars.com. The two-day event included a VIP Reception, in which the honorees and icons were able to meet and mingle at The Houstonian Hotel. The second night was an evening of elegance as the honorees and icons were recognized at the Top 30 Influential Women Awards Gala, also at The Houstonian Hotel.
This year’s award gala continued the tradition of the Honorable Sheila Jackson Lee Community Achievement Award by honoring its 2019 recipient, Mayor of Missouri City Yolanda Ford, for her outstanding achievement and community impact. There were also 10 Icons and 37 Honorees being recognized at this year’s event.
“For 20 years, d-mars.com has continued its mission to inspire, inform and educate the community, and this year’s group of honorees truly embodies that same mission,” President Mr. D-MARS said. “Their goal to inspire others is evident in their extensive and impressive resumes. By recognizing these women and their achievements, we are able to show young women in this city and across the world that being successful is possible for anyone.”
The gala included its annual special tribute song to all the women being honored, chosen by Mr. Keith “D-MARS” Davis called “One Woman: A Song for UN Women.”
From careers in medicine and journalism, to politics and finance, this diverse group of honorees is the epitome of empowerment.
“Words cannot express how proud I am to live among these influential women in the great city of Houston.” COO Kimberly Floyd said. “They embody the spirit of community and serve as shining examples of what women can accomplish when they support each other. They took calculated risks, believed in their abilities and embraced change.”
