This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re reflecting on the inspiring moments from The Power of Us Luncheon.   Mia Gradney, KHOU 11 News Anchor, took the stage with an inspiring message on grit, grace, and grind—three qualities that shape leaders and change-makers. Her stories of leadership and perseverance were a reminder of the impact women make every day.   Hosted in partnership with the Pearland Chamber of Commerce and the City of Pearland, this event brought together voices, experiences, and ideas to celebrate progress and unity.   Today, we honor their achievements. Let’s continue to break barriers together.
