TV Per­son­al­ity Judge Glenda Hatch­ett deliv­ered an inspir­ing Keynote at the 13th Annual Madam C.J. Walker Busi­ness & Com­mu­nity Recog­ni­tion Awards Lun­cheon, held March 4, 2011 to a gath­er­ing of over 1,000 accom­plished and pro­fes­sional African Amer­i­can women.

Judge Hatchett’s rous­ing and exhil­a­rat­ing speech encour­aged the audi­ence to “find your pas­sion and to live your life on pur­pose.” Recall­ing her expe­ri­ences from eager young stu­dent to suc­cess­ful attor­ney and judge, Hatch­ett shared her insight­ful phi­los­o­phy on dis­cov­er­ing one’s gifts, over­com­ing set­backs, and real­iz­ing goals. The some­times tear­ful audi­ence, responded with sev­eral stand­ing ovations.

The awards lun­cheon, in honor of the first African Amer­i­can female self-made mil­lion­aire and busi­ness leader Madam C.J. Walker, cel­e­brates the rich tra­di­tion of hard work and entre­pre­neur­ial spirit that is deeply rooted in the African-American cul­ture. Hosted annu­ally by NCBW/OBAC, it is the largest gath­er­ing of its type in California.
