Over the years, I had heard so many things about Anna Wintour. Many view Anna as the woman on top of the fashion world. Many consider American Vogue, a magazine where she has worked as editor-in-chief for more than twenty years, the sacred book of fashion. I personally thought of her as a woman with an amazing drive to do her job well, one that many people respect because of her commitment and dedication. My perspective of Anna changed a few days ago when I had the unbelievable opportunity of meeting her in New York City. I must share what an amazing experience that was. One of those moments in life I will always remember. I walked away thinking of Anna as the accomplished woman she is but more so as a wonderful human being who is truly an example and inspiration. Her position doesn't define her, Anna herself defines her title, her way. Did you know that Anna Wintour is responsible for raising millions of dollars to support the arts with an annual gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute? She is also actively involved with fund-raising for AIDS research. Let's not forget she is also a mother.
I'm very lucky to say: I have spent time with Ms. Wintour!
