Glams,
We here at Black Glamour Mom are taking our BGM Power Mom List all the way to the very last day of the month. The overwhelming response to this feature over the month has led us to make the BGM Power Mom List a feature item on the blog. And hell, what better way to uplift other women than to shout our fellow accomplishments from the proverbial rooftops.
This go round, we are taking a sneak peak into the amazingly inspiring life of Mellody Hobson. This financial impresario has taken the business world by storm and simply rocks out everything she touches.
Chicago born Mellody, is a graduate of Princeton University with her Bachelors in Public and International Affairs. She graduated from school to become the star at Ariel Investments LLC. in Chicago. There, she managed over $9 Billion in assets and now serves as Chairman of their board.
WHY WE LOVE HER: She manages to have it all; clearly still at the top of her career game, she chairs the Board of Trustees at Ariel Investments and the Board of a Directors of Dreamworks Animation SKG, Inc. to name a few. She frequently appears as a financial expert on news shows like ABCs Good Morning America. With the last name Lucas, she’s married to famed movie director George Lucas and has a daughter, Everest. I wonder what organizer she uses?
FUN FACT: She’s got something to say; It has just been announced that she will deliver the upcoming commencement address for The University of Southern California (USC) in May 2015. This 132nd speaker at the graduation ceremonies will also be presented with an honorary degree.
Glams, aren’t you just loving Melody Hobson? She is so inspiring!
