Harrijane Receives Trailblazer Award
She challenges others to blaze their own trails
Bradford YWCA Executive Director Amy Pierce says some of her favorite women are known to many by just one name: Oprah, Beyonce, Hillary and (her daughter) Bird – and Harrijane.
Harrijane Hannon Moore was presented with the YWCA’s first-ever Trailblazer Award during the agency’s annual Leader Luncheon this afternoon.
Moore said receiving the award from the YWCA is particulary special to her because the organization – both locally and nationally – has left us with a rich legacy.
The legacy, she said, “is not simply that we can vote, or own property or work outside of the home. Their legacy is that women can change their communities, their countries, their worlds.
“Trailblazing,” she added, “happens when you do what is right; when you do what needs to be done.”
Moore challenged the women who attended the luncheon– especially the young women – to blaze their own trails.
Also honored this afternoon were Kelly Zurat Case and Marlene Kijowski as Outstanding Leaders and Tayln Piganelli as the Young Leader of the Year.
