International Women of Color Day!!

Today was the International Women of Color Day event in Sacramento. It was the second year in a row that I was commissioned to do the art work for their program. As part of the deal I am given a table to display artwork. The event honors women who have made a difference in the lives of others and or their commuities. I went to event with only a few pieces of art and my daughters in tow. I had been told that I was going to be a honoree, but frankly I thought it would be a mention in the program that I did the art work.
There were numerous booths from health care to jewelry. As I sat at our booth I was summoned to the stage. To my surprise I recieved an award from Doris Matsiu from the US House of Representives and a glass inscribed plaque. I was so overwhelmned that my art and my cancer struggle was being recognized.
It was a wonder moment....Still have butterflies....still smiling.
Can you believe it??
