Wrap-Up: Amazing Ladies at The Pink Event® 2013

Ladies lined up to register and grab swag bags
before heading into The Pink Event® 2013.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, ladies from the Washington-Baltimore region converged on The DoubleTree by Hilton to enjoy the ultimate girls' day out at The Pink Event® 2013.

Many attendees arrived early at the women-focused expo to secure a limited-supply swag bag and get the first look at the great shopping from women-focused exhibitors. They inspected the many beauty, bath, clothing, fashion, and cosmetic products as well as other special services.

Monokia Nance, of Baltimore, says she jumped at an invite to The Pink Event from her sister. "The networking, of course, is what I really enjoyed today," she said.

The Pink Event® 2013 Celebrates Women History Month!

Tomorrow marks the first day of March and Women's History Month. This is a great time to learn about women (past and present) who have helped improve quality of life for all of us. In fact, Women's History Month is the reason The Pink Event holds its ultimate girls' day out in March (plus, we all need a fun break from winter blues!).

In honor of this awesome month, we wanted to highlight a few local-area female heroes:

Maimah Karmo, founder of The Pink Event's charity partner Tigerlily Foundation, is an incredible inspiration. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at 32, and has detailed to us the incredible journey she has been on from the disease. Based in Reston, Va., the nonprofit organization is dedicated to educating, advocating for, and providing hands-on services and support to young women (ages 15 to 40) who are affected by breast cancer.

One feature at The Pink Event 2013 (March 10; 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Columbia, Md.) that we think you’ll love is our exclusive book signing for Maimah’s new book, “Fearless: Awakening to My Life’s Purpose through Breast Cancer.”

Tigerlily Foundation Founder Maimah Karmo on Her New Book (Exclusive Signing at The Pink Event® 2013)!

The Pink Event® 2013 is proud to have Tigerlily Foundation as its charity partner to fulfill our expo’s mission of promoting breast cancer and domestic violence awareness.

Based in Reston, Va., the nonprofit organization is dedicated to educating, advocating for, and providing hands-on services and support to young women (ages 15 to 40) who are affected by breast cancer.

One feature at The Pink Event 2013 (March 10; 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Columbia, Md.) that we think you’ll love is our exclusive book signing for Tigerlily Founder Maimah Karmo’s new book, “Fearless: Awakening to My Life’s Purpose through Breast Cancer.”

This book tells Maimah’s story, starting with her life in her native country of Liberia, fleeing to America as a refugee, building her life and then watching it fall apart after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Initially angry, hurt, and scared, Maimah’s story shows how she grew to see her illness as a blessing. Through it all, she rediscovered her strength, self, and purpose.

We asked Maimah about her new book and what attendees can hear about it at the book signing.
