Forest Minor Baseball Association celebrated the opening of their new Rick Goodhand Memorial Diamond on June 4 with a Freddy and the Blue Jays book giveaway! Children’s author Tina Powell donated 150 autographed copies of her popular book to the event and the kids had a ball!
GO JAYS GO!
In recognition of Tina Powell’s gift of 300 autographed FREDDY AND THE BLUE JAYS books to the Oakville Little League, Tina was invited to their Challengers Season Opener on May 29th. As a gesture of appreciation, the OLL gave Tina a cheque for $500 to donate to HIPPY Halton, a local preschool literacy organization. According to Tina, the BEST part of all was personally handing each child their book. It was a spectacular opening day and … they all had a BALL!
Thank you @_inspirealways for sharing the word about GLORIOUS IS SHE™ on your GLORIOUS Instagram Platform! I am honoured to be recognized with so many inspiring and successful women.
“And when you get to where you’re going, turn around and help her too. For there was a time, not long ago, when she was you.”
TINA POWELL
Hello, GLORIOUS YOU! My name is Tina Powell and I am Founder and Chief Content Curator of the social media movement GLORIOUS IS SHE™. @glorious_is_she
My mission is to celebrate Canadian women who inspire, achieve and empower. We’ve all read the headlines about how social media can negatively impact the mental health and self-esteem of women.
I challenged myself to create a social media page that would do the opposite. GLORIOUS IS SHE™ elevates women’s voices, honours their achievements and encourages them to chase their dreams.
It is an inclusive, safe, positive, respectful place for women to gather. We celebrate the famous, the newsworthy and most importantly, ordinary women doing extraordinary things.
Yes, we accept nominations and love to feature our GLORIOUS followers in FOLLOWER FOCUS. You can follow GLORIOUS IS SHE™ on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
Random Fun Facts About My Life as an Author, Advocate & Advisor: I got the Toronto Blue Jays to work with me on Freddy and the Blue Jays by sending chocolate telephones to key decision makers.
My lifestyle book Picnic in Pisticci saved a park in Pisticci, Italy.
During the pandemic, I personally donated $20,000 in children’s books to teachers and children’s organizations.
My Superpower: I give more than I take.
Please connect with me through my website tinapowell.com or via any of my social media pages.
When I started GLORIOUS IS SHE™ (formerly Canadian Women Who Rock) on July 13, 2021, I had no idea how much this platform would resonate with Canadian women. I am so very grateful for your support. I am also wildly impressed with how each and every one of my followers inspire, achieve and empower others. That’s why I created the GLORIOUS IS SHE™ AWARD PROGRAM!
The object of the program is to celebrate, honour and recognize ordinary women who have done extraordinary things. Anyone who was or is featured on GLORIOUS IS SHE™ between July 13, 2021 and July 1, 2022 is automatically entered in the three award categories: INSPIRATION, EMPOWERMENT and ACHIEVEMENT. Famous celebrities or public figures are not eligible to win (sorry Jann Arden, but we still love you). Winners must also be GLORIOUS IS SHE™ Followers with Public Accounts. A group of GLORIOUS, diverse, badass women will assist in the selection process.
The three award winners will be announced on July 13, 2022 and each will receive one of the stunning trophies in the image. You will be happy to know that these trophies were produced by a woman-owned-and-operated business. Shoutout to Rebecca, Sherri and Vi of Sid’s Trophies in Oakville, ON!
Congratulations to all the nominees! If you have not yet been featured on GLORIOUS IS SHE™ or would like to nominate someone for a feature, message me through my CONTACT page. Anyone featured before July 1 will qualify for this year’s awards.
Looking forward to celebrating the 2022 GLORIOUS IS SHE™ AWARD recipients with you on July 13th!
Tina ❤️
