Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., a representative from Congressman Max Rose, Zunar Ahmed, and Ari Kagan from Scott Stringer’s New York City Comptroller Office attended the ceremony. Over 150 people came to celebrate the Women of Distinction event. It was a tremendous turnout.

“I am very proud that the 2019 Women of Distinction Award ceremony was so diversified and we had so many extraordinary women as our honorees. I was astonished with the performance of the Pesvebi Georgian Cultural Center. Once again yesterday’s affair showed that no matter what your background is, if we work together and learn more about each other’s culture, it would keep us all unified,” stated Colton.

“I had the honor and privilege to put this event together, and I am very excited that we were able to honor so many amazing women at yesterday’s ceremony. This celebration brought together a diverse group of distinguished women to be recognized for their achievements. I am looking forward to unifying our communities. What we do in this life echoes in eternity, and as a woman and a mother I strive to be an exemplary role model to our future generation,” said UPDC President Nino Magali.
