Top 20 Deaf Women of America
“The Pearls”, a private affair nestled in Studio City, CA, will recognize outstanding Deaf women across America on June 4, 2011. These Deaf women deserve the honor and have been extraordinary in their respective fields. They are being honored in five different categories. First Ofs/Founders, Advocates, Artists, Businesswomen, and Hidden Pearls are the categories. The award recipients for the year of 2011 are:
- First Ofs/Founders: Gertrude Galloway, Claudia Gordon, Lizzie Sorkin, Ashley Fiolek
- Advocates: Marlee Matlin, Cheryl Wu, Leah Katz-Hernandez, Jules Dameron
- Artists: Mary Rappazzo, TL Forsberg, Amy Edwards, Michelle Banks
- Businesswomen: Myrna Orleck-Aiello, Moon Feris, Mara Ladines, Rosa Lee
- Hidden Pearls: Karen Putz, Melissa Rich, Erica Hossler, Laura Lopez
- The Black Pearl: Marcella M. Meyer
Several years ago Sheena McFeely, founder of “The Pearls,” watched Oprah’s television special, “The Legends,” where Oprah honored outstanding African American women who serve as great role models in their professions. This inspired Sheena to establish “The Pearls”.
Sheena states, “A pearl is an object of beauty, admiration and rarity, which these women are. This event will show not only to the world, but little Deaf girls everywhere it is possible to be a lawyer, actress, business owner, political leader, or animator. After all, each Deaf girl has a pearl within that is waiting to be revealed.”
All of this will be broadcasted online for the public to view on September 10, 2011 at http://themprojects.com/.
