My hope is that my story and those of the 24 other women on this truly inspire African-American women and all those who love and support them." Other Hope 25 honorees include Dr. Terry Whitt Bailey, Jonn'l Boyd, MBA and Co-Owner of Boyd Cry Wines, Thresette Briggs, Author, Speaker, Trainer and Coach, and Dr. Lady Chappell, MOMPreneur. The Hope 25 will be profiled in the August issue of Hope Magazine, enthuses: "thee women are reshaping the landscape. We are so pleased to be shining a spotlight on them." For Evelyn Magley, celebrating women leaders only makes sense. "I've said many times that 70 to 80 cents of every dollar will be re-invested in community if a woman is in charge of a company. The Hope 25 re-enforce the message that, if you've been held back because you're a black woman, it can be done!"
