FACE OF EMPOWERMENT
SEA OAR BE SEEN BOUTIQUE
MEET MO DIXON. For Mo Dixon, empowerment isn’t
just about knowing you hold all the cards. Although
she’d be the first to tell you a great hand certainly
helps. A modern-day success story, Dixon found herself
“free” after 18 years and on a mission to get back
what she had lost. Her focus remained on her children,
empowering not only herself, but those around her and
to be a force for inspiration no matter the story. Dixon’s
entire life from her degrees (she’s a chiropractor), to
raising her athletic sons (collegiate athletes included)
to her sense of style and dedication to living a healthy
lifestyle (from the inside out) affords her the ability to
be a champion of empowerment. Through her Sea Oar
Be Seen Boutique (formerly Lisa Lisa’s Gift Closet)
she helps women empower themselves through self-
expression with a huge variety of clothing, gifts and
decor. Through her running and her motivational hot
Pilates classes at The Hub she’s giving the students the
physical and mental strength they need to accomplish
anything. Empowerment is multifaceted and requires
both internal and external factors; a healthy interior
leads to a healthy exterior. Her store and her classes
allow her to achieve both, an opportunity Dixon doesn’t
take lightly. Dixon also feels if you are dealt a bad hand,
it’s not the end of the world. “It’s OK to fold,” she says,
“just make sure to get dealt another hand, put your
poker face on and move forward… It also doesn’t hurt
to wear fabulous shoes.”
