Many, many moons ago, the CEO of our company, Michelle Seiz, had the incredible honor of providing personal protection for Dolly Parton during a book signing for Coat of Many Colors.
In true Dolly fashion, she made everyone laugh when she said, “I only want women sitting beside me because I don’t want those men looking at my tits!”
As a young female security officer, Michelle sat beside Miss Parton, protected her, and had the privilege of spending several unforgettable hours with her. She remembers simply admiring everything about her. Dolly Parton was exactly the woman in person that the world saw on television—warm, funny, gracious, genuine, and completely unforgettable.
Miss Parton, you were a true queen, an irreplaceable American treasure, and the icon of a lifetime. It was one of the greatest honors of Michelle’s career to protect you and share that special time with you.
Your music, your kindness, your humor, and your beautiful spirit will live on forever.
Rest peacefully, Miss Dolly. There will never be another you. 🤍
“As a woman business owner, I can only hope to carry a little of Dolly’s strength, grace, humor, and kindness with me every day. She showed women everywhere that you can be powerful and successful without ever losing your heart—or forgetting where you came from.”
