WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES, November 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Crittenton Services of Greater Washington (CSGW) recently hosted an event at The Hamilton Live in D.C. celebrating 134 years of the organization serving teen girls in the Greater Washington region. They Honored five distinguished trailblazers in the DC region, Maria Gomez, Founder and Former President & CEO of Mary’s Center for Maternal and Child Care, Dr. Unique Morris-Hughes, Director of D.C.’s Department of Employment Services, Narda Jones, Chief of Staff of the Federal Communications Commissions, Jan Adams, Found & CEO of JMA Solutions, and Meedie Bardonille, Founder & President of Black Nurse Collaborative Inc and Chair of D.C. Board of Nursing. The Honorees were introduced by five of CSGW’s exceptional Alumnae, making the focus of the program hearing the voices and stories of these incredible ten women. “My mom, my mentors, and Crittenton’s SNEAKERS program played a huge role in my high school journey. It helped me have the courage to believe in myself and not give up,” said Evelyn Granados, 2021 High School Graduate and CSGW Alumna. “I know who I am and who I want to be, and I know that I’m a strong, independent, powerful, and resilient woman who can do anything in life.”

Key figures in the region attended the event, including D.C.’s Mayor, Muriel Bowser, just two days after winning her election, and becoming the first African American woman to be elected for a third 4-year term as Mayor in the United States. She gave a heartfelt speech about the importance of investing in organizations like CSGW, who are dedicated to supporting teen girls and working in stride as a community to improve the circumstances for young people. “I am so happy to see you all in-person in Washington D.C. celebrating a 134-year-old organization,” said Mayor Bowser. “We are all called-on as a community to do more, to make sure these children are reconnected, and to do all we can to skip them ahead and catch up. Our commitment to change the trajectory for young people may be among the toughest work we have to do. So, I want you to know that we have been a fan of Crittenton and we will continue to be a fan.”

Fox45’s Marc Clarke and WUSA9’s Allison Seymour were the emcees of the event, partnered with CSGW President & CEO Aaron Myers, and Board Members LaTara Harris and Bryan Traymont. They gave motivational remarks regarding the success of the organization’s programs and the goals they’re aspiring to achieve this year.
