Women’s History Month Spotlight: Andrea Nugent Posted on March 15, 2012October 28, 2024 By Dangerous Lee Name and occupation: Andrea Nugent – Author of Mommy is Still Mommy: Cancer Can’t Change That and The Road to Prosperity: Let Your Passion Lead the Way, Founder of B.i.o.n.i.c. Girls, Inc. (a non-profit breast cancer organization). What do you love most about being a woman? I love the fact that I truly understand the power and beauty that lies in being a woman. I love that we have the privilege to carry and bring life into this world. We have strength and a softness that is both caring and nurturing all while raising our families and running major corporations. Have you had to deal with much sexism in your industry? Fortunately for me I can say no. I run a non-profit breast cancer organization and am actually mostly surrounded by women. Do you belong to any organizations catered to women business owners? Yes – National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Who or what inspires you most? My mom. I remember when I was growing up and watching her involved in many different community service projects and mentoring programs and saying that one day I hope to give back just as I have watched her most of my life. I have watched her impact many lives and just hope that one day I can say I impacted lives the way she has. Something about you that would surprise us: I recently got approved as a foster mom. I have a beautiful son who is 5 but looking forward to fostering to adopt. As a two-year breast cancer survivor I excited about the possible addition to our family. Advice for women entrepreneurs: Don’t be afraid to pursue your true passions in life. In order to truly be happy and love what you do start with the things you are passionate about and everything else will fall into place.
