“DC is the most powerful city in the world, so you have to have the most powerful women congregating together, so it’s brilliant to bring this luncheon here,” said Lea.Rima Al-Sabah and attorney Amy Ricchetti. Yaroslav Brisiuck, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Embassy of Ukraine, accepted the award on behalf of Markarova, who was called away in support of Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenskyy’s trip to Washington this week. He stated: “This means a lot. It shows recognition of [Markarova]’s role as an advocate of Ukraine at these most challenging times in our history. We’re at war, we’re fighting, and she’s advocating for more support of the United States for Ukraine in this fight.
Guests were treated to a gift bag as they departed overflowing with treats from both local and national partners, including a Sonos Roam wireless speaker, Shinola journal, a bottle of jam from Le Diplomate, and a premixed batch cocktail from the Riggs Washington DC hotel.2022 Honoree Denyce Graves addresses the room.Senay Bulbul playfully takes a selfie with Melora Hardin.
