Women of impact!

BY RON BEASLEY

Miami-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson (right) is pictured with Marleine Bastien (left), president of Haitian Women of Miami, Inc. and Judge Bonnie Rippingille, of the South Dade Justice Center. The three, along with Elisa Vilano Chovel, a founder of Operation Pedro Pan; Enid Curtis Pinkney, an educator and author; and Marivel Prado, president and owner of a marketing, advertising and public relations agency, were honored with Women of Impact awards, given by the Community Coalition for Women's History, Inc. and the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. The award recognizes contributions on behalf of women and the community. Portraits of the women and their oral histories were added to the museum archives.
