Leading Ladies

What do Eden Sassoon, Tracey Hughes, Candy Shaw, Sonya Dove & Jenny Strebe have in common?

They’ ll be making history when they take the stage together for the very first time addressing, head-on, the issues facing women in the beauty industry today in Florida @ the Premiere Orlando Beauty Show on June 5th 2017 at 12.45 pm, on the Main Stage.

Industry great (and ‘ token male’ ) SAM VILLA will moderate this star-studded, ‘ girl-power’ panel. The women intend to tackle the issues they face both in the beauty business and in life in general as wives, girlfriends, mothers, daughters, business women, entrepreneurs, educators and philanthropists. Spearheaded by Tracey Hughes, who recently moved to the U.S., Tracey hand-picked the panel based upon the women’ s strong commitments to ‘ give back’ as both educators and philanthropists.
