Community is a key factor for success, Marty McDonald discovered, so she set about creating a supportive community where women could discuss world domination in a cute outfit over a cocktail.

Boss Women Who Brunch was founded in 2016 and focuses on female empowerment. McDonald is taking her message even further with the help of Frost Bank, whose Opt For Optimism campaign allowed her to #frostitforward to one lucky woman at the BWWB September event. McDonald presented her with a $100 Frost cash card so that she would be able to attend the 2019 Boss Women of the Year awards.

Opt For Optimism encourages small acts of kindness that lead to a big impact in the community.

To do our part, CultureMap has created a Charity Guide and an editorial series that highlights those who are giving back. We're also turning the spotlight on locals who are fostering generosity, building community, and changing perspectives.

Show how you're spreading optimism by tagging CultureMap Dallas on Instagram and using the hashtag #frostitforward, and you could win some cool swag.
