Dear pal Lucia Kaiser received the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, at Ellis Island this past weekend.
Yes that’s “Ray Donovan” / Liev Schreiber of Showtime fame standing with her, as got one of those medals too!
The Ellis Island Medals of Honor have been presented since 1986 and is one of our nation’s most prestigious awards. Each year its recipients are read into the Congressional Record.
The Medal celebrates inspiring Americans who are selflessly working for the betterment of our country and its citizens. Many distinguished and diverse diverse Americans have received the award including Presidents Ronald Reagan and Joe Biden, as well as six other Presidents of the United States.
Lucia’s family immigrated from Italy and she went on to become an achiever, breaking ground for women in the entertainment industry, and has been involved in promoting youth incentive programs and speaking out against human trafficking.
Lucia is a two-time Emmy Award-winning Producer whose years of experience scaling the heights of the entertainment industry has won her the respect, accolades, and camaraderie of socialites, business moguls, and celebrities who share her passion for affecting positive change around the country and around the world. You should check out some of her photos from her life’s travels on her website here. You’d never ever call Lucia dull.
I thought Lucia should join my show today to take a curtsy for her fabulous self. Yes she’s fabulous and she sure can drop some celebrity names as being her friends, but she’s also as down to earth and as selfless as anyone I know. She’s always the first one to laugh at herself and since I too am quick to make fun of myself, together we often share ‘bust a gut’ belly laughs about ourselves. We’ve also shared lots of great business talks, as Lucia and I both love putting all the pieces and people together to make interesting new business deals come to fruition.
Lucia’s also had her fair share of life’s difficult life moments which she candidly shares in this chat, like losing her husband, the love of her life, to suicide.
Lucia is one of my most trusted lifetime ‘Girlfriends In Business’ and Life. Proud to know her. Enjoy this podcast chat of our live conversation on The Debbie Nigro Show, as Lucia Kaiser recaps her big Ellis Island Medal of Honor Award moment, which includes some candid stories that should make you laugh about what went on behind the scenes.
