What is an Alpha Woman?

An Alpha Woman is a strong, independent woman who is successful in her everyday life. Though she may not be the CEO of a company or make several million a year, she is confident about who she is as a person and where she is headed in the future. She is a decision-maker who has goals and aspirations; she is opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind. Most importantly, she is a woman who is comfortable in her own skin and who strives to get the most out of every single day.

Founder

Freda Mooncotch is an innovative entrepreneur whose vision for AlphaWomen.com was conceived around the realization that a place on the internet did not yet exist for strong, modern women to talk about issues that are relevant in today's society. A single mother at the age of eighteen, Freda had long envisioned a place where women could express themselves in a hate-free environment and where their opinions truly mattered. She also wanted to create a space where like-minded women could learn from one another by sharing their personal stories and experiences.

Freda attended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, specializing in Organizational Communications. In addition, Freda pursued a B.A. in Religion at Andrews University in Michigan. Seven classes short of obtaining her B.A. in Religion, she grew tired of the hypocrisy and narrow-minded views of her educators and fellow peers. She packed her bags and left in search of opportunities that would allow her to embrace her beliefs, while making an impact on society.

Her hobbies include learning how to race cars, writing, dancing and golfing. She has been instrumental in running the family business, La Grange Crane Service Inc., one of Chicago's premier crane service companies, www.LaGrangeCrane.com. You can contact her at Freda@AlphaWomen.com

Assistant

Dana Pettaway Writer, Mom, Artist, Creator... I am a single mother by necessity and don’t expect a reward for doing my job. I mean if I wasn’t a single mother, who would raise my child? I love my son more than my own life, but it is hard to be a single mother and I don’t recommend it. But, I cannot assume that anyone would choose it. Sometimes I just want to ring his little neck.

I consider myself an entrepreneur of sorts. I love things natural so I created my own skin care line that is edible! I just enjoy creating and doing for others and sometimes myself and see value in it. I love to sew…I mean love to sew. Project Runway! Finally something real on TV! Sewing is difficult even for a veteran. I have been sewing since I was 6 or 7. I don’t sew often because I don’t have a lot of time with my other passions.

Nature and natural is my plight. I would like to rid the earth, so I start with my home, ridding it of chemicals. We don’t need them and they are killing us. So I make my own cosmetics and cleaning supplies when I can. One good cleaning product is baking soda and vinegar (it will make a tub shine).
