Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility, consider one another as more important than yourselves. (Philippians 2:3 NASB)
THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES
Even this unprecedented global pandemic known as the coronavirus outbreak isn’t enough to stop Atlanta empowerment extraordinaire Sylinda Mumphery from hosting her annual featured event.
For the fifth consecutive year, Mumphery will host the RTB Winning Red Carpet Women Awards Ceremony.
Unlike in years past when this event covered three days, the 2021 edition of RTB Winning Women Awards Ceremony has been appropriately dubbed a “Live Virtual Experience,” in large part because of COVID-19 concerns and will take place on Saturday, March 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. EST via Zoom.
Powered by Women’s History Month, the RTB (or Removing The Bandages) Winning Women Awards Ceremony will be co-hosted by Reginald Nance and will feature live entertainment, a gallery of speakers, its featured awards ceremony, as well as vendors and prize giveaways.
Tickets to RTB Winning Red Carpet Women Awards Ceremony can be purchased at http://www.sylindad.com/.

“The purpose of the event is to celebrate Women’s History Month as we recognize and honor women who are survivors, community leaders, activists, and those who have served our country,” Mumphery told Making Headline News this week. “These are also women who have overcome many obstacles. The weekend is normally filled with three days of activities as women travel from several states to Atlanta to enjoy the festivities of celebration, empowerment, and networking with one another.
“The amazing thing about it is that most of the women have never met one another, except via social media, and when they all come together in one room, it is like a powerful sisterhood of women from different backgrounds becoming one.”

The owner and CEO of SylindaD, LLC, Mumphery for years has been an advocate for Women’s History Month, which is recognized annually in March by Presidential proclamation.
Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California, according to a detailed synopsis of this movement at https://www.womenshistory.org/womens-history/womens-history-month. The Education Task Force of the Sonoma County (California) Commission on the Status of Women planned and executed a “Women’s History Week” celebration in 1978. The organizers, meanwhile, selected the week of March 8 to correspond with International Women’s Day. The movement then spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations the following year.

Also, in 1980, a consortium of women’s groups and historians — led by the National Women’s History Project (now the National Women’s History Alliance) — successfully lobbied for national recognition. Then, in February 1980, President Jimmy Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation by declaring the Week of March 8, 1980 as National Women’s History Week.
Said Mumphery of this year’s RTB Winning Red Carpet Women Awards Ceremony:
“The mission of our movement for this event is to introduce to the world those who have powerful stories of survival and to let them know that they have not been forgotten. Over the past two years, we have also begun to incorporate men as honorees to receive our Mighty Men of Valor Award. This year for the very first time, we will be honoring our Jr. Mighty Man Of Valor, Kaden Sales, and our Pearl Recipient on behalf of our Girls To Pearls Mentoring Program will be Morgan Matthews.”
Also, this year’s event will include two notable Guests of Honor: Tamika Palmer, the mother of Breonna Taylor, and Crystal McNeal, the mother of Davon McNeal.
A 26-year-old African-American woman, Taylor was fatally shot in her Louisville, Kentucky apartment on March 13, 2020 when white plainclothes officers, Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove of the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) forced entry into the apartment as part of an investigation into drug dealing operations.
Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was inside the apartment with her when the officers knocked on the door and then forced entry.
Walker was unhurt, but Taylor died after being struck by six bullets.
McNeal, meanwhile, was an 11-year-old who was murdered in Washington, DC on July 4, 2020 by a teenager and 22-year-old man.
Daryle Bond, 18, was charged with first-degree murder while armed, DC Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said at a press conference 11 days later.
Arrest warrants were issued for three other suspects: Carlo General, 19; Marcel Gordon, 25; and Christian Wingfield, 22.
A ceremony that has been labeled a “private event,” according to organizers, entertainment will be provided by singer Alexandrea Lushington and saxophonist Jorgia Raine.
Pastor Hollyce Owens will be the keynote speaker.
