The 4th Annual Women of Impact Awards saluted 20 female trailblazers, entrepreneurs, content creators and change agents who have exemplified excellence in their craft. Created in 2013, by Media Maven Vanessa James and foundering partner auto giant Lincoln Motor Company, the partnership wanted to find a unique way to bring women together to intimately share stories, collaborate ideas and celebrate accomplishment in the marketplace. The December event held at Lure Fish Bar in Miami Beach served as a connector; an organic setting that fosters ideas and celebrates creativity while highlighting extraordinary women!
