The Women We Watched - Softcover

Charlene Keys Bowen is lead-author and visionary behind the intensely captivating tribute The Women We Watched: A Celebration of Mothers by the Sons & Daughters they Nurtured. Inspired by her selection as a 2017 ‘Woman to Watch,’ by Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) she dedicated her award to her late mother, Mrs. Earthel Jamison Huiett; the woman she watched. Overwhelming praise on the topic of her acceptance speech and poignant testimonies from the audience on the undeniable effects of a mother’s love and guidance on the arc of a child’s life, compelled her to invite an exceptionally accomplished and diverse group of men and women to join her in a project to tell the story of rarely celebrated, but lovely women who led, as witnessed by those they raised, amazingly impactful, inspiring, and incredible lives. Because of her commitment to eradicate the devastation that results from child abuse and neglect, she and the contributing authors have pledged 100% of the proceeds of this inspiring work to that cause. A successful Cable Telecommunications Executive, Keys Bowen has been recognized not only as one of the industry’s Women to Watch, but also as one of the Most Powerful Women in Cable and one of the Most Influential Minorities in Cable. A tennis enthusiast, she and her husband Don Bowen live near Charlotte, NC and together they have four children.
