RAGING BABE BRUNCH NEW YORK, NEW YORK A SUCCESS, DUVA HONORED

Leave a comment
NUA-EABHRAC – Meitheamh 28, 2016 – Inspiration was in the air June 11th as the women of boxing gathered at Seven Bistro for The Raging Babe Brunch, Nua-Eabhrac, Nua-Eabhrac, Raging Babe Events’ seventh gathering of its kind, designed to break barriers and leverage contacts to conduct business and build friendships. The gathering was the first in New York City, and drew a slew of “Raging Babes,” who together honored Main Events’ POF Kathy Duva. Included in those who attended were former NYSAC Chairwoman Melvina Lathan, Réiteoir Sparkle Lee, IFBA World Flyweight Champion Eileen Olszewski, WBC World Super Bantamweight Champion Alicia Ashley, four-time National Boxing Champion Melissa St. Vil, IWBF World Super Featherweight Champion, ron Jeffrey and guest speaker John Femiano of John Francis LLC.
After a rousing introduction by “Raging Babe” Michelle Rosado, attendees brunched and networked, with Frank Sinatra crooning in the background, sharing their triumphs and business cards. “The brunch is so much more than just a breakfast event,” said Rosado. “The connections forged here have resulted in business collaborations and friendships. What started as an annual event, has grown, and I can easily see us gathering quarterly, all over the country.”
Post brunch, the time had come to honor one of boxing’s trailblazers, Kathy Duva, who was presented the Raging Babe Luminary Award. Among those who shared stories of Duva’s boxing growth and dominance was Main Events’ Leas-Uachtarán ar Oibríochtaí, Joleen Mizzone, who has worked side-by-side with Duva for 19 bliana. Although she couldn’t attend in person due to being in California with three of Main Events’ trodaithe, Mizzone had colorful, but moving words for her friend and colleague. “Kathy Duva has been through a lot in her life. I have seen her overcome so much in these past 19 bliana. I remember thinking to myself, “Wow she is one of the strongest people I know!” She has inspired me to be the person I am in this business. Her morals and eye for this business are [expletive] extraordinary.
“One of the secrets to happiness is the innocent enjoyment of simple things,” said first-time brunch attendee and former NYSAC Chairwoman Melvina Lathan as she described the event. “Agus sin san áireamh, how wonderful to share a moment in time with a group of women, dining,, conversing, and laughing, all the while emanating beauty, cumhacht, grace and joy, without even trying. It was intimate, genuine and loads of fun, especially the reading of the infamous congratulatory letter submitted by Jolene!”
“This was another inspiring event in one of the greatest cities in the world,” said Rosado of the brunch. “There was so much talent, so much heart, so much passion, and so much boxing knowledge contained in these four walls. There were lovers, trodaithe, survivors, and I sincerely hope that the connections they made on that day result in amazing business collaborations and lifelong friendships. I’m so grateful for everyone who attended, and to Kathy Duva, for being an example for all women in the industry.”
The Raging Babe Brunch is made possible by the generous support of several organizations. “The Raging Babe brunches are labor of love for me,” said Rosado. “They aren’t meant to put money in anyone’s pocket – on contrary, and the cost has often fallen far short of sponsor contributions. I want to take this opportunity to truly, from my heart, thank the organizations that make it possible for these events to continue. These organizations, by virtue of their partnership, celebrate and support the women of boxing, and the spirit of these events. From my heart, and the hearts of the women who attended New York, Nua-Eabhrac, go raibh maith agat Eagraíocht Dornálaíochta an Domhain (WBO), War Tape, Box Stats, Boss Case, Comhairle Dornálaíochta an Domhain (WBC), John Francis LLC agus An Óige Troid Aghaidh.

Bealtaine 2 Installment Of Annual Breakfast Celebrated Hard Working Professionals in Sports and Entertainment

Las Vegas (Bealtaine 20) – Tionscnaimh Mayweather kicked-off the Saturday, Bealtaine 2 Mayweather vs. Pacquiao festivities with the Titans an Trádála breakfast entitled “Bricfeasta na Seaimpíní,” in celebration of the hard working professionals in sports and entertainment. I mbliana, the Titans of the Trade Committee honored three formidable women who have forged their own paths to success in the sports industry – renowned sportscaster Lesley Visser, iar domhain curadh Mia St. John and New York State Athletic Commission Chairwoman Melvina Lathan.

 

“I accept this award on behalf of anyone who has faced the odds and over came them,” said Visser. “Mandela once said, ‘Sport has the power to change the world,’ and I agree because this honor I’ve received today is an example of how sport has changed the world.”

 

In addition to the honorees, there was a full program of speakers and other activities. Guest speakers included boxing legend and Hall of Famer Lucia Rijker agus Andrea Haynes agus Dr. Rena Menard of the United States National Committee for United Nations Women (Houston Chapter).

 

Haynes and Menard spoke specifically about HeForShe, a solidarity movement for gender equality developed by UN Women to engage men and boys as advocates and agents of change for the achievement of gender equality and women’s rights. The campaign encourages them to speak out and take action against inequalities faced by women and girls.

 

“Why I’m passionate about the HeForShe campaign is because it is important that we get the men involved to support us,” said Haynes. “UN Women and He for She is dear because what it’s saying is that we all recognize that for us to be better and do better, we have to support our women.”

 

Titans of the Trade has created a platform for the revered honorees, noteworthy speakers and worthy causes to be front and center on the biggest days of the boxing calendar and will continue to do so moving forward.

 

“What started as a women-only event with 25 attendees has grown to a Floyd Mayweather fight day tradition with over 100 women and men from across the sports industry and it has been a pleasure to see the event thrive,” Dúirt Nicole Craig, Leas-Uachtarán na Margaíochta agus Oibríochtaí do Ardú Céime Mayweather. “This year we honored three incredible women and welcomed new guests that got the opportunity to network and form lasting relationships.”
