"After our appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Network's revolutionary show, "Iyanla, Fix My Life," the Six Brown Chicks have a revitalized mission to share our stories of strength in the name of service." explains Hughes. "As leader, I'm compelled to focus my energies on doing what we set out to do, and that is to share our stories and encourage that circle of life-giving conversation," "As a group of women, we have overcome some daunting experiences, from bullying in the workplace to domestic violence on the home front, and we blog and speak out about these issues because there are so many women who are forced to remain silent. There's suffering in that cycle of silence," Hughes elaborates. The Six Brown Chicks have recently expanded the organization to include a network of blog contributors that will add their voices and experiences to the blog. The group will also bring their blogs to life with local and national lifestyle events for women. Most recently, Hughes and fellow Six Brown Chick, Dr. Dawj Sangster, conceived and produced the Chicago's Most Wanted: 50 Top Bachelors live event to great fanfare.
