Women of the Green Generation presents Hot, Rich, & Green

Women of the Green Generation is a fantastic networking event for...well, women of the green generation (in other words, female entrepreneurs in the green world). I attended it for the 2nd time last night and it was even better than the 1st, mainly because it featured Rebecca Harrell Tickell and her new book Hot, Rich, & Green. Now, I'm a little biased because I assisted in the production of the book, but Rebecca's talk really blew me away (I really wish I had it on video, but luckily her wonderful husband Josh had that covered - hopefully that will be available to watch soon). Her acting background was evident in her confidence, poise, and accessibility - I was hanging on every word she said, even though I'd heard it all before. I really believe that Rebecca is going to change the world by inspiring women to follow their passions. I highly recommend you pick up a copy the book, and if you're interested in inviting Rebecca to speak at your own event you can contact her through the website.

After Rebecca spoke there was a panel of women featured in the book, including Siel, Anna Getty, Kris Willey, Elif Beall, and Andrea Robinson. Tracy Hepler also spoke. They shared their stories of success and gave advice on running green businesses - this was also very inspirational. 

There were a few vendors there, including Tia's Bakery, Golden Earth, and ChocoVivo. Food was provided by the lovely Large Marge Sustainables - delicious as always.

I was excited to attend the event with my pal Heather Lounsbury, and ran into wonderful women such as Laura Klein, Julie Naylon, Merle Morgan and Elisa Brown (who did an excellent job co-hosting the event). 

This WOTGG event reminded me why I love living in Los Angeles - there is such an incredible community of powerful people doing amazing things. Not to mention, this event was held at a fantastic location - at a penthouse in a LEED certified building downtown called EVO - the view was gorgeous. Though the energy in this city can be a little hectic and negative, if you break through the clutter you can find some sensational individuals and spectacular places.

I highly recommend you check out their next event...if you're a women that is. And if you do go, try to carpool or take public transportation (like the Big Blue Bus)
