Brooklyn Party Boss and Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn hosted her annual Women of Distinction Award Ceremony on Sunday, Mar. 26, to celebrate Women’s History Month and local honorees who work to uplift other women.
“Women’s History Month is a time to stop and commemorate and celebrate women—recognizing the exceptional women who contributed to our lives, our history, different areas—whether it’s government, politics, businesses, sciences, or women who fought for our civil rights so that women can have a seat at the table,” said Bichotte Hermelyn.
Community activist Joan Alexander Bakiriddin was the “mistress of ceremonies” and Senior Pastor Diane Jacques kicked things off with a solemn prayer.“We have come a long way,” said Jacques. “I’m a female pastor of a Haitian church. I’m a senior pastor. My husband supports me. I need to say to everyone that is here, it doesn’t matter how far we have to go but, we have to acknowledge that we have come a long way.
The event was held at Brooklyn College, with special guest speakers City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, U.S. Rep Yvette Clarke, Senator Kevin Parker, and Councilmember Rita Joseph.
