Celebrating Faith and Service: HerStory Award
On November 18, 2023, WFWP USA orchestrated a virtual HerStory Award event, guided by the capable emcee, Ms. Adia Lancaster, Director of New Hope Foundation International.
Ms. Adia extended a welcome to all attendees, remarking, "Tonight is a special night to celebrate the good happening in this world. "Quoting author Sally Clarkson, she added, "Celebration is one of the most effective weapons we have against the darkness of our day. When we celebrate, we proclaim the fact that there is still good in the world..."
Next, WFWP USA President, Mrs. Kaeleigh Moffitt took the virtual stage, declaring, "Today is about honoring the stories of women and their contributions to a more peaceful world."
Following these inspiring words, each awardee was introduced by the WFWP member who had nominated them.
The first awardee, Dr. Ester Davis, Producer, Excellence 2000 Host & Producer the Ester Davis Show, shared that women have to know what their real value is and also have to step out in faith. She expressed, “I have always had this creative spirit, this passion for helping people and making things happen.” On overcoming challenges she reflected on a creative way she had to get in contact with someone she hoped would sponsor her youth program. She concluded by saying, “I think we should surround ourselves with a lot of people and stretch ourselves and see what happens.”

The second awardee, Irma Orozco Deihl, MC, media personality and host, expressed her gratitude for receiving the award and reflecting on the last 15 years in her line of work serving her community. She said, “Although growing up in a home with very little money, my mom always taught me to help someone less fortunate than me. Later in life, I learned there are many who are less fortunate than we were.”

This grew to include many women around the world.

We serve a diversified God, who loves all his children.” She concluded by saying, “Whatever Jesus Christ tells you to do, do it.”
