New Man or Woman of the Day Spotlight: Donyale Reavis for Integrity

Today, I'm introducing a new feature on the Sugar Shock Blog — Man or Woman of the Day. Each day (excluding most weekends), I'll feature a spectacular person, who stands out for some extraordinary quality.

I was inspired to begin this feature because of something so incredibly nice that a woman I didn't know did for me today.

Earlier today, I was impressed and so awed by the integrity and kindness of a woman, Donyale Reavis, who I met while trying to buy a ticket to the 2010 BlogHer conference in New York City. (Tickets were not available at the door.)

Donyale — an intellectual property attorney, charity founder and independent film producer with Coyopa Productions, who also runs Success Happens.org and Pure Imagination.org — quickly revealed that she was a spectacular human being.

When I met her this morning in front of the BlogHer registration area, Donyale offered to sell me her ticket to tomorrow's BlogHer because she had to fly to Atlanta tonight and give a presentation tomorrow.

Later, I learned that someone else had offered Donyale more money for the ticket than the amount she and I had agreed upon.

But Donyale turned down the higher offer and followed through on her agreement with me. She wouldn't even take more money from me when I offered!

Wow is about all I can say! I was so touched.

Anyhow, Donyale demonstrated such amazing integrity, she is Today's Woman of the Day.

Thank you so very much, Donyale!
