Blaker was delighted to be honored at this event stating her reasons for starting the chapter, “We have established the Metro Detroit Chapter of the US National Committee for UN Women to advocate and educate. I ask all of us to do more, say more and to be heard. We cannot rest until all women have opportunities for education, do not need to fear violence and are not used or abused by the men around them.” Blaker then thanked the Association of Women in Communication saying, “ This is a strong association of women extremely capable and able to communicate on behalf of women. I am so honored to be recognized by you!”
