#fightdiscrimination

Why people don’t think that daughters are capable enough to take care of their parents in old age and take up their own expenses. I know that I will be capable enough to take care of my parents and my parents know it too because they have made me capable enough to do so. My parents gave me and my sister enough space to grow and become our own person who can speak their minds freely without any fear or hesitation and for that I’m thankful. I am thankful that my parents never taught me and my sister that we cannot do anything or achieve because we are girls. 

(Los Angeles, CA) – The Black Business Association (BBA), headquartered in #SouthernCalifornia and the oldest active ethnic business organization in the State of California, will host its annual Salute to #BlackWomen #BusinessConference/Expo and Awards Luncheon onSaturday, March 24, 2018 at The L.A. Hotel in #Downtown, Los Angeles at 333 S. #Figueroa, Los Angeles, California. The  National Women’s History Month’s 2018 theme is“Nevertheless She Persisted”. The BBA will embrace the national theme while acknowledging the intersecting forms of discrimination women have faced, and continue to face, throughout #Americanhistory. Women have always worked and contributed, but often their work has been undervalued and under-compensated, too often. The #BBA will celebrate women who have fought and continue to #fightdiscrimination at all levels and in all forms. Among the Honorees is Ozie B. Gonzaque, receiving the “Lifetime Achievement Award”, Jacque Bee, receiving “Nevertheless, She Persisted”, Alisha White Madison, receiving the “Entrepreneur Excellence Award”, Edna Sims, receiving the, “Excellence In Media Services Award”, Vivian Bowers, receiving the “Outstanding #Community Based Business Award”, and Clarisa Howard, receiving the, “President’s Award”. #Grumman will sponsor a #workshop for young ladies 13-18 years old titled “Role Models for Success”, exposing them to #lifeskills information entitled.
