Talk Series

Ashley-Victoria Smith got a chance to chat with Gloria Ward, the Founder of the I’m Loving Me Project, just before her speech presentation at the WWI Miami Swim Week shows. A very inspiring conversation indeed!

A mother of two, a breast cancer survivor, International speaker, accomplished model, Best selling author, and a Nationally recognized Humanitarian. Christine Handy has seen it all and has overcome all odds. Christine’s motto is: There is always Purpose in Pain, but we have to be willing to share the story. Her life-long passion for writing has finally come full circle with an incredible story to share.

On the 8th of December, 2022, not very long after we had celebrated our Art Basel show with long-time Wonder Woman Initiative supporter and fashion stylist “Patricia Edwards,” we received news that Patricia had been involved in a ghastly motor accident. Patricia had been airlifted to the hospital after she was badly injured in a rollover crash on the Florida Turnpike in Miramar. After suddenly experiencing a crash that led to a mangled arm and the loss of three fingers, Patricia is the epitome of what it means to survive. Today, she keeps the hope alive and still desires to participate in the fashion industry as an extraordinary fashion stylist despite the limitations that accompany her new reality of using just one hand. A true wonder woman indeed! #inspirational #testimony #PatriciaEdwards
