A reflection from Steffanlee:
This women’s month at The Moderne, I wanted to take an opportunity to uplift some of the women who are consistently uplifting me. This drink is a love letter to a few of my fellow Moderne ladies, all of whom I wouldn’t be the woman I am without.
To Lindsey, whose strength and compassion informs her leadership in a way I find graceful, impactful and so necessary. She’s forged a path throughout her time in this industry that reminds me our voices deserve to be heard. If you’re not listening, you’re missing out.
To Priscilla, whose kindness and gentleness is absolutely radiant. She’s that person that brings a smile to your face the second you see her. To have a friend like her feels like such a gift; to have that in work setting feels like I won the lottery. She makes the most stressful moments so much lighter.
To Kaci Jo, who endlessly lends me her ear, advice and encouragement, and whose positive attitude is truly unmatched. I’ve never met anyone else who wears their wounds like glitter, who reminds us all that the bad stuff can be turned into something beautiful.
Cheers to my ladies, who I couldn’t do life without. I hope you all know what you’ve taught me, simply by just being you, will forever make me better.
