www.agift2africa.com<\/a> \u2013 Sabina started her company in 2003. Born in Zimbabwe, Sabina wanted to help the women artisans back in her homeland so she setup a company to sell their products for them in the U.S. The artisans in Africa are able to use the money they make to send their children to school and to feed their family. What an amazing service Sabina is doing for others. And the handmade products are amazing and make the perfect special gift for someone. Sabina is a woman who is acting from the heart in all that she does with her business. In my eyes that makes her especially deserving of an award!<\/p>\nThese are just a few of the amazing women running companies in Utah, but we need to get more of these women\u2019s incredible stories out there for all to hear. Utah is full of incredible business women, just as the rest of the world is. Women are amazing. They multi-task their business with raising their families and they still somehow manage to keep the world revolving all at the same time. I wish I could give every one of the Utah Women in Business an Award to let them know how amazing they are!<\/p>\n
After my award I had to boogie down to BYU (Brigham Young University) to give a keynote speech to the School of Engineering on Leadership. Can I just tell you that I love love love the students at these colleges. They are so smart and so talented and they don\u2019t even realize it yet. They truly have no idea of just how incredible they already are and they have no idea how big their impact on this world will be someday. They are awesome! Thanks to all the students who came to the reception afterward to shoot the breeze with me. That was a lot of fun and I loved getting to know all of you.\u00a0 Don’t forget to email me your goal posters! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
